Sheboygan’s Invisible Man Wins Hide and Seek Championship; Opponents Demand a Rematch
SHEBOYGAN, WI – The annual Sheboygan Hide and Seek Championship took an uncanny turn this weekend, as the city’s most elusive citizen, I.M. Notseen, otherwise known as the Invisible Man, claimed an uncontested victory. As competitors remain hidden in bushes and basements, Notseen’s invisible nature has ignited a debate shrouded in as much mystery as the champion himself.
The grounds of Sheboygan’s Enchanted Forest, where the event took place, are still teeming with bewildered participants, some of whom are unaware the contest concluded days ago. Notseen’s ability to be simultaneously everywhere and nowhere proved advantageous, though fellow competitors are crying foul.
“We didn’t prepare for paranormal contenders,” protested Hide and Seek Association President Seekeeta Hideington. “How do you find someone you can’t see? It’s preposterous!”
Yet Notseen, whose voice echoed eerily during the award ceremony with no body in sight to claim the trophy, defended his victory. “I’ve been overlooked for years,” he declared. “It’s high time I was seen – figuratively, of course.”
Mayor Nutty McNutface, no stranger to the bizarre and bewildering, has been left to mediate this unseen predicament. With werewolves lobbying for nighttime contests and witches requesting mid-air championships, the Mayor’s Office is considering establishing a Paranormal Division for future games.
Meanwhile, Larry Lupin, famed werewolf and proprietor of “Fur Real” pet grooming salon, suggested employing magical creatures to level the playing field. “We’ve got unicorns with X-ray vision and fairies with detection spells,” he howled. “Let’s make the games magical!”
As Sheboygan grapples with the unseen implications of Notseen’s victory, a question lingers in the enchanted air: In a city where the extraordinary is ordinary, can traditional games ever be the same again?
The Invisible Man’s victory trophy remains floating eerily in the Mayor’s Office – an unseeable champion’s unseen testament to a game where seeing is believing, but not seeing is winning.
