Guatemala Vanishes

No one can find Guatemala. One day it was there, the next disappeared. All news outlets led with this story. Fevered theories abounded. It fell into a black hole. Someone covered it with dirt. It was always a figment of our imagination. A sink hole swallowed it up.
Experts were consulted. Specials were hastily put together. Family and friends in other countries mourned its loss. Our President vowed to send aid, but there was no one left to receive it.
 The laws of physics were turned upside down. Philosophers and spiritual leaders argued different explanations. A moment of silence was held.
No group claimed responsibility. The world pondered this mystery.
A week later a story came out about a woman accidentally suffocated by her own Spanx.
The world turned its attention to her. Guatemala was yesterday's news.
