Week 8- Part 1

''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.
