Roanoke Valley under fire

Virginia, U.S.--The local human plantation of Roanoke, Virginia is at the brink of destruction.

There is a major reason to believe, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that waves of mountain lions did descend on the people of the Roanoke Valley in the great retaking of the cherished homeland. Sources say it is the largest incident on record of the overtaking of an American city by the surrounding wildlife.

A peace treaty is being worked out with the animals, but no inside sources have yet indicated any premonitions around the terms of the agreement. Anonymous sources report that Roanoke mayor David Bowers, best known for having sold the town to Wal-Mart out of gambling desperation, denies any involvement with unpaid, lion-related debts, saying, "I wouldn't make a wager with those penniless rubes. They only want your flesh anyway."

Field analysts say the animals have taken to gathering in the Roanoke Civic Center where humans are hunted for entertainment following a sold-out Toby Keith concert.

Town spokesperson Lightfoot Steifewagen recalled a feeling of terror, when on her evening run to Wally World was pulled over by lions and questioned. "They wanted to know where I was going," she said. "They asked where I came from. Like it's any of their business!"

Attorneys for the swarm of mountain lions have stated the occupation is officially a peace-keeping mission intended only to affect a very precise few people who took part in the alleged attempt to overthrow the laws of nature. But he added, "No one is directly at fault for the decline of the mountain lion's land, but because all have systematically taken part in the mass rape of it as every nut and every cog is needed to turn the gears of Humanity - the Great Fucking Machine." It is a principal moment in interspecial relations in which a beast, with an attorney's help has leveled the playing field with man.

So far, the verdict is split. If no verdict is reached after a second round of hearings Tuesday, the Roanoke County vs. Mob of lions trial could move on to the Virginia Supreme Court, where experts say the level of clusterfuck is expected to be a critical mass situation. Commander Von Hertenweiner, lead gang-rapist of the lion's crack legal team on the case, said, "I foresee a dimension of politics so unexplored that NASA scientists and mathematicians have been placed on temporary standby, awaiting transmissions from the top." Judge Joe Mathis, who is expected to rule on the case, said "Next week's hearings should go as smoothly as an abortion case, or a sudden lion attack." He concluded, "If things get too hairy, I will back someone into a corner and hold them in contempt of court after they lash out at me with rage." The press room then let out a chuckle, quit their jobs, and went home to 'blog about it.
