Journalist Kyle Sand abandons The Bubbly Review

Despite being rehired to keep The Bubbly Review open during Christmas week, Kyle Sand refused to come in, stating: “All the other journalists got the week off. It’s only fair that I get the week off, too.” 

He then slammed the door in the editor-in-chief’s face. 

“Although we originally fired him for his pyromaniac tendencies, this attitude of Kyle’s has always been a problem. One day he demanded a raise because the journalist whose desk is next to his won the Best Vocabulary award. He reasoned that because his colleague always looked up words for him, he was the reason his colleague’s vocabulary was so good,” a spokesperson for the review said. It is unclear if Mr. Sand’s breach of contract will get him fired, but if he worked at Algae Chronicles, he’d never have been rehired in the first place. 

Beetlejuice and Smee engaging in PDA.

We were all doubtful that couple’s counseling would help Beetlejuice and Smee work out their differences. However, it appears that it has worked. Perhaps the loss of all but five of their children (Inspector Fishnet still has no leads) has helped this quarrelsome couple come to terms with each other and be cordial…or maybe it’s a little more than that. The other day, everyone watched the two in utter astonishment as they cuddled together in one of the caves. By the wobbling and tottering swim they took to get to the cave, some were pretty sure that they were both smashed, others begged to differ. 

“They aren’t inebriated. I know that look. Those two are making babies. Not that I know exactly what that’s like. Sassy being gone and all. But when you want children, you do your research,” said Madame Geoffery. “Do you not know how to use the internet?”

The couple stayed together for several hours before Smee decided to return to her side of the divider. Authorities are optimistic that the two will stop their war and stick to using their words when they have a problem. We, along with the other residents of the tank, think that they are as naïve as ever, and yet, we are also hoping that the violence is over.
