“Dark Omens? Brazin Food Thefts Send Shivers Through Fulton County!”

Folks, something sinister is lurking in the shadows of Fulton County, and I, for one, am NOT about to ignore the chilling truth behind it.

For weeks now, residants of 3 once-peaceful neighborhoods have been rocked by a bizarre crime spree—and not just any crime spree. No, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill burglary, where some lowlife takes off with a TV or a bit of jewelry. This thief wants something far more unnerving.

They want your food.

That’s right! Multiple families across Hawthorne Lane, Carver Hills, and Wood Hollow have reported their garage refridgerators and deep freezers completely raided. Whole roasts, slabs of bacon, frozen vegetables, even entire holiday turkeys—vanished. The perpertrator doesn’t bother with valuables, doesn’t disturb anything else—just the food.

And if that doesn’t send a sick, cold feeling crawling up your spine, then you haven’t been paying attention to this town’s history.

This Is No Ordinary Theif—This Is A Message

Now, the so-called “authorities” will try to brush this off, chalk it up to “desperate times” or “an opportunistic thief.” But let’s not forget that the Dun Maylock have a long history of sending messages through the most mundain of crimes.

Theft, my dear readers, was always a precurser to something far worse.

We know that throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, homes marked with their bloody handprint were often found ransacked before the final strike came. And those victims—the ones who ignored the warnings—often vanished before dawn.

And what, I ask, is more symbolic than taking the very food meant to nourish and sustain a family? Is this some kind of ritualistic warning? A test to see who notices? Who reacts?

Mark my words: this isn’t just about hunger.

The Darkest Theory Yet

Some might suggest—and I shudder to even say it—that this could be a gathering. A summoning. A preparation.

You think I’m being dramatic? I’d remind you that the Dun Maylock were always believed to hold feasts before their most gruesome acts. If this is them, then we have to ask:

Who—or what—is this food meant to feed?

A desperate wanderer? Or something that never left Fulton County at all?

What You Need To Do

The police will tell you to “lock your garages” and “be vigilant.” (Oh, brilliant advice, gentlemen. Truly groundbreaking.) But I say—watch for the signs. If your home was hit, you must ask yourself why. Was it random? Or were you chosen?

And if you notice anything strange—a handprint, a miplaced object, a shadow where there shouldn’t be one—you’d best start questioning if this is just the begining.

I’ll keep my ear to the ground, dear readers. And trust me when I say: if something darker is lurking behind these thefts, I’ll be the first to let you know.

Until then, lock your doors, watch your food, and pray this is just a petty thief… and not something far, far worse.
