Chipmunk of Terror Mystery Letterbox

Letter to the Editor:

The Teenage Mutant Kung-fu Chickens are my brothers. They get all the press, but I was there when that nuclear reactor leaked too, and I'm tired of being ignored the publicty they get simply because "Teenage Mutant Kung-fu Chipmunk" doesn't sound as catchy. I have decided to take revenge on the world.

Mount St. Helens? Yep, that was me. The Loma Prieta Earthquake? Yep, me again. I've ravaged the countryside, and I'm not getting the credit I'm due. For this, everyone shall pay dearly.... MUHAHAHaHaHahahaha!!!!

But I like games, so I'll give you a chance to catch me. It won't be easy. I might be strong as the dickens, and smart as Einstein, but I'm small as a--well--chipmunk. I can hide in the smallest cracks, and there's an entire world to hide in.

But I'll give you a hint: My home is near the first "natural" disaster I caused so many years ago. Thousands of years ago, I flooded a forest full of those annoying squirrels. They think they're so darned clever, and I taught them a lesson they'll never forget. But even to this day, you can peer down into the clear, blue waters to see the underwater forest, preserved in the freezing waters that make up its tomb.

Search for a large stump caught in a rockslide, along a trail, surrounding the lake. But be warry if you choose to hunt me down, because I'm well-guarded from above. I'm hiding away in a hole to the left of the stump, behind a rock. At least until I decide to come out once again to strike fear into the hearts of men and women everywhere. MUHAHAHaHaHaHahahahaha!!!!!!
