The Mystic Gazette, a local paper that has been going down the tubes lately with the rise of the internet.
"Great...sales are down again. I gotta think of something to save my business." said the chief of the gazette as he walked the streets before spotting an old typewriter in a store window. "Hmm...maybe some new equipment."

"This has been here for a long time now. If you want it, its yours for 10 bucks. But I must warn you, some things are better off never written." the dealer said.

"Uh huh, sure." The guy said, pulling out $10. Paying for the typewriter he left and headed off to the office.

He tried to think of something, eventually pacing around. "I need something that will catch peoples' attention. Something that will make them pick up the paper..." He said before looking out his window.

"Hmm...let's see...building fire? No not that big. Aliens? No...too big. Something..." he said before spotting Bookworms. "Got it." he said as he started typing.

He typed for a bit before finishing his story. "Now to get this to the presses." He smiled, pulling the paper out and hurrying out of the room. He didn't notice a faint glow as the paper was pulled out.

The next morning, the papers were delivered all across town with a very interesting story. "What is this? Bookworms suspected of using mud instead of coffee?" Minda read.

"Yeah, but what if some customer tries to pull a fast one. It could cost me the business if they took me to court." Minda said.

"I know, but I feel like I should go down there and demand they retract this boldface lie." Minda said before the phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Minda asked. "Damon, what's wrong?" "Uh...its weird but...all our coffee powder has been replaced with mud." one of her employees said.
