Week 8- Part 2

''As the dawn of June 13th approaches, the sun called forth by Dawn Joyce,the sun that cleared away your magic, your memories, the newspapers shimmer. The events of the previous day melt away with the snow. At least some of the damage done by the Gods’ Wars repaired by divine intervention. The world will never be the same, but… at least it will be somewhat less broken.''

Christmas in June? A freak snowstorm hit London this weekend. Citizens came out in full force, bringing food, drinks, and blankets for all. Delightful winter activities were engaged in by all. Meteorologists are baffled by this unseasonal cold and snow. It came on as quickly as it left, however, and after just a few hours, the wintry miracle had melted once again.

Disruption On London Bridge

A cart containing fireworks caught light on London Bridge, causing a brief but memorable display. Thankfully nobody was harmed.

Missing Elephant London Zoo’s star attraction, Jumbo (the largest elephant in the world), is missing. Zookeepers are reportedly baffled.

Hyperion Club Explosion A gas line at the Hyperion Club caught light in a freak accident, causing some damage to the building. Thankfully the club was not in session at the time, and nobody was harmed.

Father Thames Foundation Established The ‘Father Thames Foundation’, a new philanthropic organization spearheaded by Captain James Voyage and Mr. Timothy Mink-Liu, held its first gathering this weekend. Interested parties sailed down the Thames, enjoying snacks and champagne, as donations were solicited for the new charity.

Community Gardens Bear Fruit Community gardens that must have been planted in spring by philanthropic citizens have been found all over London. They are now bearing fruit and vegetables, with yields on par with those of local farms. London will eat well this summer.

Accident at Adalbert Factory  A malfunction of a machine at the Adalbert Factory this weekend led to an explosion during its quiet hours. Thankfully the small number of workers on site at the time, including Mr. Adalbert himself, were able to flee the building before the worst of the damage.
