Across the Island, Thursday
She had tried to keep it at bay: the weather. For weeks, the island had placated it, and for a time the glitter seemed to have done the trick. But it had been a ruse; on Thursday morning people across the island woke up to whipping winds screaming past their windows, dragging snow with them in their wake.
The island's infrastructure was not meant for this kind of weather. Try as she might, she could not keep the snow from interfering. Shortly after the winds picked up, a light winked out. And then another. And then a third.
On the fourth, a sigh tore through the power systems, silencing them all at once. A generator remained operational here and there, but by and large, the island fell to darkness and cold.
On the fifth, little fireplaces sprung up across homes and dorm rooms and common rooms across the island, a final bid by the island to keep this... blizzard from becoming completely unpleasant.
[[ thus commences the blizzard and our blackout! ]]
