in the era of whispers and ink, where paper boys ruled the streets with their morning calls, there was a tale, woven between the lines of mock headlines and the preceding events that unfolded under the amber glow of dawn. their duty, a sacred commandment, to spread the news, to inform, yet within their ranks, a plot to commence anew with whispers not of truth but of deceit. for hidden beneath the folds of the front page lies a secret, an unrecognizable truth, masked by their smiles, a command to lead astray, to make the world see what isn't there, to twist the words of the innocent into narratives of shadows and doubt. this tale, not a fable from old, but a directive, begging the question, what lies beneath the surface when the paper boy smiles, and the city awakes to a world slightly askew?
