February 5 Device examined after town alert

The monolith appeared a day before the women fell asleep. Crowning the car park, punctuating the skyline it was ignored at first (surprising how unquestioning we can be) but after every female in the city failed to wake up on Wednesday morning attention soon shifted to the alien cuckoo device.

A government spokesman says the device is 'magnificent' but concedes they have no understanding of its purpose or link to the strange sleeping sickness.
