Returning Hingle McCringleberry

There once was a man named Jose. He walked down a street like usual and found a mysterious box on the sidewalk. Upon seeing the box, he didn't think twice about it, so he kept walking but then to his surprise the box moved from its original position. Out walked a Raccoon. The first thing Jose notices was not the raccoon itself, but his name tag that said “Hingle McCringleberry” It was all black with a mohawk, and white rings on its tail. The creature had bright green eyes that stared deeply into your soul. Who would own this mysterious creature? Jose then called up his buddies Michael and Hikaru to help him figure out who owns this raccoon. They all met at a coffee house at Stanford University. Luckily, they all lived in dorms close by. At the corner seat of the cafe, the three began with a simple discussion of what to do with the raccoon. “What are we gonna do with the raccoon? We should return him to his owner.” said Jose. “Lets let him go” said Michael. Hikaru then says, “You guys can do what you want. I have other things I need to do.” “Don’t be a wuss.” replied Jose. As they were arguing, Hikaru opened his beat up laptop and surfed through Facebook feeds. “Hey guys, you gotta check this it. Its about Hingle McCringleberry!” exclaimed Hikaru. He read the post out loud” LOST RACCOON HINGLE McCRINGLEBERRY. PLEASE RETURN TO MARILYN MANSON.” Jose steps in and says, “It’s a sign. We have to go.” All three agreed and they headed back to their dorms. We all packed our bags so full that the zip failed to close at first. Afterwards, the college students rushed to Michael’s car. They threw their bags into the 1999 Toyota Corolla and began their epic journey to return Hingle McCringleberry.
