On the morning of February 27, 2025, the Committee of Conundrums convened an emergency meeting to discuss the inexplicable disappearance of the donut from the break room fridge.
Chairperson, Jane Doe, called the meeting to order, her voice firm but laced with a hint of panic.
"We must find the donut," she declared, her eyes scanning the room for any signs of dissent or donut-related trauma.
Members of the committee were divided. There were those who believed the donut had been spirited away by the office goblins, while others suspected a more mundane explanation – the janitor's penchant for snacking.
The committee's resident donut expert, John Smith, presented his theory: "I think it was the work of the notorious Donut Thief, a master of stealth and deception."
The committee members exchanged skeptical glances, but John's conviction was unshaken.
"I have evidence," he said, producing a grainy photograph of a suspiciously donut-shaped shadow lurking in the break room.
But as the investigation continued, it became clear that nothing was as it seemed. The donut was more than just a mere pastry – it was a symbol of hope, of joy, of the human spirit.
As the committee deliberated, a new suspect emerged: the office accountant, known for his ruthless efficiency and love of spreadsheets.
"I didn't take it," he said, his voice dripping with indignation. "I'm a man of numbers, not a donut thief."
The committee was unconvinced. They demanded to see his alibi, but the accountant produced a suspiciously neat and tidy calendar.
And so, the mystery remains unsolved. The donut remains lost, and the Committee of Conundrums is left with more questions than answers.
