The Fiction

The week the internet went down, so many of us sat around marveling at the weird weather and telling scary stories. One story lead to another, all around the world.

Now we are collecting summaries of these stories. Surely you heard some!

Tell us who told the tale, what happens, and how it plays off of real-life weird weather (google it), in 300 words or fewer!

We are not the first to notice that the week the internet went down was exactly 200 years since Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron, kept indoors by the climate disruption of a distant volcano, sat around and told each other ghost stories. Mary invented Dr. Frankenstein. Byron started the vampire craze.

What new and frightening phantasms will be the product of our own Monstrous Weather?
