Wonder City Stories III #48
Apr. 23rd, 2014 10:05 pmI know I'm a little late posting this week, but if you would like more than just this short update -- I promise that the next episode is MUCH more exciting -- I'd love to see 10 comments by Saturday morning. Or you can do an entry on the Wonder City Stories TV Tropes page! to count for 2 comments. (There are currently 20 entries.) I'll post the next episode whenever we hit the threshold... or next Tuesday, whichever comes first. :)
Raining in My Head Like a Tragedy
Nereid didn't like altering the weather patterns—again—but this time she really needed it to rain on the whole city to try to put a damper (ha ha) on everything that was breaking loose.
Were the mayor and the city council at all to blame for everything that had happened? She didn't know. She supposed they might've been working with the aliens. (She mentally shied away from adding "too" and thinking about Sophie.) But City Hall was an expensive building full of innocent people and really didn't need to be on fire, and the surrounding businesses probably didn't have anything to do with the men in black either, so they didn't deserve to be vandalized. But all the people here, the people who were so angry and damaged from everything, they really didn't deserve to get waterhosed.
It didn't stop her from waterhosing some of them to keep them from hurting other people.
At least it was a hot day this time, unlike the last time she hauled in the rain. It was probably pleasant in the neighborhoods where all hell wasn't breaking loose.
