One of the greatest stories ever told has gone viral

Forget the Oscars, get over the greatest novels of the year and bin that boxset you're obsessed with.

We've found the greatest story that will ever - and has ever - been told. And it's on Twitter, obviously.

Comedian Zak Toscani gathered the people of Twitter round the fire (or their phones, whatever) to tell his tale - it's unverified, sure, but there's no way a mere human mind could be the author of a story so special.

It starts off in a familiar scene: an office, a stolen lunch, an unknown thief.

But there is a new addition to the traditional tale: CCTV and, more importantly, the victim having access to it.

The story gets even more bizarre - and disturbing.

The clues added up to a chilling picture.

The office had never seen days more tense.

The most disturbing, two-faced parts of humanity soon showed their face.

You'd think the twists and turns are surely over. But they are relentless.
