A Boba tea store on Lombard Street in San Francisco was struck by a sudden and inexplicable wave of violence yesterday, as late last evening a gunshot was reported outside of a store by the name of Bobasaurus. Police arrived 30 minutes later to discover the dead bodies of at least 15 individuals - several found with gunshot wounds that were deemed to not be of a supernatural nature by authorities - and dozens more injured. Medical staff have reported patients with strange patches of yellowed, infected skin and many living and dead individuals alike have been found harbouring parasites deemed to be common tapeworms.
Segments of released bodycam footage show an armed mob that threatened police, who were incorrigible and unable to be communicated with and properly de-escalated by the officers present at the scene.
The Occult Wildlife Landing organisation has claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that they were responsible for transmitting a mutagenic virus into the California water supply, in order to protest the recent removal of multiple trees in Yosemite National Park as a method of preventing further wildfires, although this claim has been doubted in all official statements put forward so far.
Popular podcaster Ted Gundy has come out condemning the "deranged scheming" of OWL, but has not yet left out the possibility of a spreading zombie plague to manage.
For now it is left unclear to the public the true nature of this frightful attack. Yet another wave of berserk supernatural violence, or the signs of a more sinister machination?
The Occult Wildlife Landing (OWL) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights of supernatural creatures to live a life unmolested by humanity’s relentless spread and greed.
While OWL has become the de-facto head of the conservationist movement in the United States, many claim it’s not as innocent as it appears. A number of small, seemingly-disconnected terrorist cells wear the OWL insignia with pride. These groups– which tend to contain a disproportionate number of supernatural creatures and beings– commit high-profile acts of public violence with the intent of furthering OWL’s core objectives. In the past, they’ve blown up oil pipelines, stopped development projects, and even infected congregations of people with mutagenic viruses.
OWL denies any involvement with these so-called “OWL-inspired terrorist organizations” (or OITOs for short). However, many people conflate the two and consider OWL itself to be a terrorist organization.
One thing is for certain: when OWL sends a blast to its followers urging protest, they’re taken seriously.
