Early this morning, a colossal gummy worm, estimated to be over fifty feet long and weighing several tons, was found coiled around the central fountain in Willow Creek Park. The confectionery colossus, a vibrant shade of cherry red, has attracted significant attention from residents and baffled authorities alike.
Initial investigations by the Parks Department suggest no immediate cause for alarm, though the sheer size of the worm has prompted the temporary closure of the park due to its uncanny presence. Scientists from the nearby university have been called to examine the phenomenon, with theories ranging from an elaborate art installation to an unprecedented meteorological event resulting in the rapid solidification of a massive amount of gelatinous material.
