MacroParentheticals 0089, a 2200-word tome on the tenth anniversary of COMICSTORYWORLD, is now in the inboxes of subscribers, so non-fic/zuihitsu morning brain is at low ebb but I can't let this bit of local-ish flavor go unmentioned:
An unnamed business on Canterbury Road contacted Westlake Police on Thursday, Oct. 13, at around 10:45 p.m. after receiving suspicious voicemails.
The individual contacted police after hearing a man leaving a message about "putting a five grand hit on another person."
"It's a five grand hit on him," the unnamed suspect said in the voicemail. "I don't care where he's at or what he's doing or who he's with."
According to Westlake Police Department, investigators discovered that the caller misdialed a person's phone number when he left the messages at the Westlake business.
"We weren't sure what we were getting into," Capt. Jerry Vogel told 3News, "if it was real or a prank or what."
A prank it was not.
