    Murder in the Bank


    A bank clerk in Sheffield has been arrested this morning after stabbing a customer repeatedly with a letter opener. The customer, Mr Dafydd Manton, was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital.

    The clerk, who will not be named for legal reasons, said to have struggled to spell his customer's name correctly but failed repeatedly, receiving loud protestations from Mr Manton, which caused the attack on Mr Manton. He was heard screaming, "I'm dyslexic for God's sake! Why can't you spell your name as David just like anyone else?"

    The police is not looking for any other suspects.

    Sher, suddenly finding herself in a place she didn't wanna be was mugged by a group of strange looking people who seemed to walk right out of "The Arabian Nights". She failed to survive her ordeal. Services to be held tomorrow, Friar Pentuck of Robin Hood's Merry Men officiating. Sher is dead, long live Sher!

    Pendragon, mistakenly thought by many Welshmen to be the King, Uther Pendragon, but without a round table, was kidnapped today by the Welsh Language Society, and taken to the national Eisteddfod in Glyn Ebwy. On discovering that Mr Pendragon actually spoke with a slight trans-Atlantic twang, and that he thought Glamorgan was a part of Virginia, he was taken to the streets, and there pelted to death with daffodils, leeks, pictures of Max Boyce and small models of Gareth Edwards.

    Dafydd is no longer with us, dear Forum members.

    It's believed that his productive life was cut short due to an over-dose of endless love, which was a recurrent topic in his poems.

    Let's revive.

    Please scan the first pages of the thread to find how to play it!

    The beloved Forum member, Pendragon, who was a member for almost 8 years, has been taken away from us and his family only too soon.

    It has been reported that Mr Pendragon was attacked on his way home on Tuesday evening by a Sworddragon and fatally wounded. Upon his arrest, the Sworddragon seemed remorseless and stated that he did what needed to be done: "I had to settle the argument over whether it is the sword or the pen stronger... We all know now."

    Despite Sworddragon's claims of superiority, Mr Pendragon will be missed forever in the literature circles.

    Calidore, who was sentenced to flogging by the Council of the Another Creative Game for not dedicating enough enthusiasm to the game and contributing for detail-lacking, yawn-inducing and adjective and adverb-barren posts to the game thread, has survived the flogging but, unfortunately, could not the shame that has come with it.

    May you rest in peace.

    Here lies Scher. The news reports say she was an innocent bystander caught in the cross fire of a bank robber gone horrible wrong. However, the grape vine is a buzz with the news that the nefarious and ruthless leader of the South Side Bad Lads has gone missing. Coincidence?

    We regret to announce the passing of papayahead, who, in an ill-advised attempt to determine whether she would rather be shot or stabbed in order to answer a question in another thread, succumbed to self-inflicted stab and gunshot wounds, which, though not immediately fatal, resulted in secondary infections in a particularly unhygienic hospital where necrotising fasciitis and MRSA had established themselves. Rumours that she was subjected to testing with unauthorised weaponised bacteriological agents by a clandestine military laboratory, are completely without foundation.

    Sadly, Scher was a victim of an alleged school shooting in her classroom. We say "alleged" because no weapon was found, no one had power burns on their hands, and the windows were closed...

    It is with sadness that we report the passing of long-time LitNet regular Pendragon, who was found floating face down in a deep pool of well justified disgust at the the ways of the world. Mr. Pendragon was an astute critic of his times and the founder of many games threads. Pope Francis has announced that he will be spending an unusually long period of time in Purgatory for both of these achievements. We will miss him.

    Poor, poor, Pompey Bum. We have been notified of his unexpected demise at the hands of an unedited, multi-volume complete Plutarch plummeting towards his big toe. Though the wound was slight, the infection was not, and we, the members of LitNet, will miss both his astounding erudition, and his puns, which were always of the highest quality.

    Financial donations to his wife at this difficult time are currently being accepted, and may be given by clicking on the PayPal link which has appeared on your profile. In addition to administering his estate, and therefore collecting said donations, I will be editing his soon-to-appear magnum opus.

    Yours,
    Kinbote.
