RECEIPT #007
FILED UNDER: CAFE-DPSS

EMPLOYEE #35
At least I have people to suffer with now. Though #1313 isn’t just being overly dramatic. This does genuinely suck. Things have gotten ten times worse at Wilson High. Yesterday was the first day our principal was back since his accident, and the changes were severe and immediate. No more Shadow Story, no more “heathen” music, and the library has been closed for review of all potentially satanic literature. I’ll give Satan props. He managed to turn Wilson High into literal hell in a matter of weeks.
Not that things outside of school are much better. Stores are being forced to burn anything deemed Satanic, curfews are being put into place, and there have even been talks about “marching on Anaheim” next. MARCHING. They’re marching now! This is getting to be a lot, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this S.U.C.K.S.S. crusade won’t rest until they have Mickey Mouse’s head on a pike. Though I guess it is just a costume, so it probably wouldn’t be that hard to put his head on a pike, all things considered.
As for Friday’s assembly… I’m not entirely sure we can ditch. I wouldn’t be surprised if the principal ends up hiring the Pinkertons to ensure everyone attends. If #1313 is right, and the head of the SATAN S.U.C.K.S.S. committee is the Mothman, then… well, we’ll need a way to avoid her hypnosis. I suppose “do not look into her eyes” is good advice, but I’m worried that that won’t be enough. And— Wait. Did we seriously just get a tornado warning? In Long Beach? Ugh…
Do you know what the worst part of all of this is? I can’t say the Suckers are wrong. It sure seems like Satan is doing his best to destroy Long Beach.
