Woozifrost

Summer never came that year for the people of Woozifrost. No closets were changed over from turtlenecks to tank tops, no 4th of July fireworks were ooed and awed at, no vacations were planned, no sun beat down upon their heads. It poured from June until September. The rain was cold, and the people were physically and mentally damp. Wet, tired and dejected they lost hope of ever seeing the sun that particular summer, or maybe, ever again.

Toward the end of September, Martin Shubert, a city bus driver claimed he saw the sun, but he was mistaken. He had just been looking at the sky for too long and started seeing blobs of yellow. He was later admitted to the Woozifrost center of psychiatry for better evaluation.

Sarah Sparks, the city librarian had a premonition that the flooding indicated the genesis to the end of the world. Sarah used the word genesis, which normally connoted new, to describe the end of something, because history had shown her that the end of something always seemed to result in the beginning of something else.
