flexagon

I want to go with flexagon structure for my newspaper book. I made a couple of different kinds this weekend that I will bring into class. I like the flexagon structure because it has no start or end page, it just keeps going. It kind of hits home the timeless quality of the stories I am finding. Bellow are the articles I have found so far:

BEARS ON LOCAL DUMP

For the past several weeks the town dump has been a beehive of activity. Night and day people jam the dumping area to watch the wild bears in search for food.
As many as eight bears have been counted in one evening.
Even a couple of the bolder young bears come in the daylight hours. 


Dear Sir:

In regards to the recent snow vehicle trespass legislation, we here in the Adirondacks have to point out that we are conservationists as well as sportsmen. We don’t destroy trees or trails. Motor boats contaminate the water with oil and gas and often cause drownings and injury  through carelessness. Hunters shoot hunters but we can’t stop hunting and boating. If there are people who are envious of us because we can go for miles and take in the beautiful things that God gave us all I have a solution for their problem, the dealers who sell three different models of snow vehicles. Then the complainer can have fun right along with us and not talk sour grapes. We can invite state officials to take a trip with us, to see for themselves. I think they are ignorant of what our machines are really like. The probably picture D-8 Cat Dozers knocking down everything in their paths. 

Very Sincerely,

BOAT GRAPPLING NEAR WILLSBORO PT. STARTLES COLONISTS
Summer Residents Surmised Vessel Was Salvaging Rum From Lake Bottom
ONLY GOV’T CRAFT

The usual placidity of Willisboro Point on Lake Champlain was rather rudely shattered last Saturday when the summer colonists noted the sudden appearance of a strange, short stubby, black steamboat churning its way around the end of the point. The craft was equipped with derricks and dredges with a large object that appeared to be a diving bell.

Grapples were swung ocher the side of the boat, and spectators at once surmised that an attempt was being made, probably by bootlegger, to salvage the three hundred odd cases of costly Scotch whiskey, champagne, and cordials which strew the bottom of the lake at the point, submerged in seventy feet of water.  This impressive array of refreshments was lost when a rum runner’s boat capsized several weeks ago in a heavy sea. 
However, upon closer examination it was discovered that the boat was merely a government light house tender which was grappling for a buoy anchor.

  1. flexagon? hexahexaflexagon?
    it's a good structure yes, but not convinced — yet, anyway — by the "timeless quality" line…

    sad even tragic story, about discovery that the sunken rum runner, was only a lighthouse tender!
