A normal day in Night Vale :)
In a world unseen, what is unseen is known. In a unknown world, what is unknown is seen.
Welcome To Nightvale.
There have been reports of a green glowing ooze peeking through the fence of The Dog Park.
âAt first I thought this was one of the many visits from our friend, the schmooze,â says John Peter, the farmer, âBut I soon realized that this was not the case when it burned my hand.â
After investigating the borders of The Dog Park, I, too, found that the substance burned my hand! It still kind of hurts.. The shadowy hooded figures surrounding The Dog Park didn't even bother with sending the Sheriff's Secret Police after me as they seemed to be busy taking samples of the substance and pushing it back inside the border of the park.
As a Night Vale resident since my youth, I still remember what my Boy Scouts of America handbook says about evil oozes.
âLeave these things alone. It will probably not devour all that you love, so don't bother it. Focus instead on gaining your blood pact scout certification, and you may not even miss the devoured people!â
And so, Night Vale, following the advice I returned to the station, where I found a very interesting surprise.
Khoshekh seems to have made a friend! It is a small green puppy who is also floating about four feet above the sink in the men's bathroom. I'm so glad that Khoshekh has seemed to find a companion in these tough, slime-filled times. We can all take a page from-
Oh. Oh it seems, listeners, that the puppy is not confined to the space four feet above the sink. Hello, little green dog. What are you up to?
[Barking yap noises]
Oh, that's not a toy little guy, can you drop that chord? I need it to broadcast-
[The voice goes a little quieter, as if walking away from the microphone]
Hey. You need to drop that. NO! THIS IS NOT TUG OF WAR!
[A growling is heard]
Uh.. listeners.. I seem to be in a bit of a situation. This puppy has grown in size so large that he almost doesn't even fit in the recording room anymore.
âŚGood doggie?
It seems while I take care of this, I'll have to take you all now, To The Weather.

Welcome back, listeners. While you were listening to the weather, it seems the puppy's owner heard my broadcast and came to the radio station to retrieve his dog.
It was much of a relief, listeners, as the puppy was able to shrink back down to a more manageable size once the owner was in control.
The owner said something about going to the dog park, but despite my insistence that the dog park was neither for dogs, nor actually a park, he still seemed determined to travel there. Hopefully the evil ooze will distract the shadowy figures long enough for the owner to realize that the dog park is not a place he wishes to be.
Speaking of which, Intern Mike has gone out to investigate The Dog Park's mysterious evil ooze as well. He has stated that it does not taste good in a drink and it cannot help destroy the doors that keep appearing randomly despite its acidic properties. He will soon return to gather more of this bright green, glowing ooze.
It seems Intern Mike wishes to step into my dear Carlos's realm of science. Foolish Mike, we all know that scientists can only be born, not made.
And now, traffic.
In an instant your whole world is dark. The fiery burn spreads through your hand, your heart, your soul. Like liquid magma it burrows into your muscles, your bones. In an instant your whole world is bright. You scream in agony but no one hears for your vocal chords dont even exist. In an instant, you are forever changed.
This has been traffic.
An update from intern Mike, who says that the green ooze is retreating from The Dog Park. The ooze had begun to boil and rise, before surrounding all the people surrounding The Dog Park, both Night Vale citizens and hooded figures alike, before swallowing them all and disappearing, including intern Mike, leaving only the voicemail intended for me as a last whisper into the cosmos.
Ah, yes, to all the friends and family of intern Mike, we leave our solemn wishes to you and yours for your loss.
Anyways, with the glowing ooze gone now, we may never know what its true purpose was. I apologize for earlier assuming its intent to be evil. Perhaps it had been friendly. Did we scare it off?
Stay tuned for introspection of the universe and an interview with our friend the schmooze.
Goodnight, Night Vale. Goodnight.
