📢 CITYWIDE NOTICE – LEGACY HEIGHTS
A voice has been heard humming outside open windows after 1AM.

🍬 JUST IN – from PARABLE
A 9-year-old got fresh with Miss Thelma this morning—called her a bad word loud enough the whole corner store heard it. She didn’t blink. Just handed him a candy.
He took it, unwrapped it, ate it.
He ain’t said a word since.
