There are many questions in the air this St. Patrick’s Day: “Who’s having the party?” “Where’s it going to be?” and “Am I invited?” are among the most popular of these. However, another question has been asked here at The Skyline View, and that is concerning the gold.We all know that Leprechauns used to inhabit this campus back when it was first built, they’d play their tricks on the students and teachers. Sometimes changing students’ grades or swiping tests from teachers’ grade books. It’s also been said that they’re responsible for the state of the bathrooms and all the graffiti you see around campus. Now, the rumors have begun that these tiny little tricksters may also be responsible for the budget problems the school has been facing lately. Those who know of the Leprechauns love for gold know that it’s fully possible for them to have at least considered this.Now add to this the fact that Leprechauns are in fact magical mythical creatures, we have ourselves both a motive, and a means which points the blame directly at our tiny Irish friends.Back in the early 1990’s, the school’s administration called in a group of ninjas, world renown for their skills at dealing with mythical creatures. Late one night, after everybody had gone home, the ninjas went to work. The ninjas did their work, slaughtering hundreds of leprechauns while they were unaware and off guard. Yet as much as they did, and as many of the tricksters as they killed, they could not find a trace of the leprechauns’ gold. Many say that it’s because there was no rainbow to follow to the gold, while others say that the gold was hidden so well that not even the world’s most skilled ninjas could find it. Still others believe that the leprechauns are still alive somewhere, lurking in the depths of the school, haunting the martial arts classes on the weekends, bitter and angry, waiting for revenge.As for the gold, rumors say many things-it may have been buried under the soccer field, or perhaps hidden in the building one elevator shaft. Perhaps it was placed into a Swiss bank account, or wisely invested in some sort of stock.Whatever really happened that night, the world may never know, but the legend still remains and the mystery of the Skyline Leprechauns will remain just that, a mystery.Disclaimer: Just so I don’t get any hate mail, yet this story is a complete and total fallacy, it was written with the intent to entertain and to amuse, although it is unlikely to accomplish even that at least I tried dagnabit.
