Terry stood at the wheel of his boat, the water wasn't as calm as it had been last week, twice now he had to move closer to shore in fear of his boat being capsized by the choppy sea.

"Hmm... Mother nature must be pissed about something, Havn't seen waves like this in years." He muttered softly as he started to pull the nets in for the latest haul of fish.

Linda sat in the city hall's conference room. Several of the staff were talking all at once, each one voicing his or her own opinion on the mysterious phenominon that was happening to the sky above. She sat back and sighed, listening to meterologists, astrominers, and even concerned buisiness owners was growing tiresome.

Christina yawned as she propped her elbow on her desk and rested her chin on her hand, she hated mondays. Listening to the teacher drone on about this or that was boring as hell, she'd rather be out doing something fun, just two more days until a school holiday.

Mike Jacobs sat in the front office answering phones, making memo's and talking to the other secretaries as they worked the morning shift. He had classes he needed to attend at the college in the city just past the mountains.

Christina sighed and turned off her mp3 player and opened her history text book following the example of the other students around her. Having turned the MP3 player off she jumped as loud static emitted from the headphones, she wasn't the only victim, other student's cellphones, headphones, and the school intercom system started to emit loud static.

Across the street in the Middle School the same thing was hapening,

"Jesus, someone turn off the intercom system!" Mike shouted to one of the other secretaries as he worked on removing the bateries out of his cell phone and the walkie talkies the staff used to contact janitors and the nurse. Mike then started to unplug speakers from computers.

city wide people had started taking batteries out of electronics and unpluging things.

"The hell? Charlie, what was that? I can't hear you the radio's going haywire." Terry grumbled and threw the mouth peice down and turned the boat's radio off. Stepping out onto the deck he looked up into the sky, before long it'd start raining, anyone could tell that, going back to the wheel he fired up the engine and started sailing back to boathouse 9.

Christina quickly threw the headphones out of her ears and clawed at the back of her mp3 player to get the batteries out, several other students were doing the same, some went so far as to break them open to get the static to stop, soon the intercom stopped staticing after being unplugged.

A shock went through his head as his headset started screeching at him. Daniel flung it off and gasped, trying to pull himself together. He'd been walking down the road, minding his own bussiness when it happened. "What the hell?!"

"I-I don't know. It could have been an electrical surge in the amtosphere, a sun spot flared up at the correct time, or it was a static discharge. Whatever it was...atleast it's over now." Felix said, loosening his tie a bit, looking ill as he watched the sky outside the window.
"Nevermind starting the assignment, just get your things ready to go...school may let out early."

A soda can clinked on the desk and Maria merely glanced at it, while continuing to write. "You know diet sodas taste terrible. I'm in my thirties, weight is the least of my worries."
Brian frowned a bit at that, Maria was so hard to please sometimes, but he was used to that by now. After all he had been working with her for ten years. "Is that so?" He asked.
The doctor glanced up with a slight smirk at the tone he had used and didn't awnser. Instead she pointed to a worn leather purse sitting on the bookshelf. "Take a dollar and get me a real soda, Brian."

A Secretary went to the door and unlocked it letting Daniel inside the high school

"Can I help you? Jeez, would you look at that sky? Havn't gotten any reports from the weather station. Maybe the radio is down too... You can wait in the office if you want." The middle aged woman stepped a side to let him in. "School's about to let out... Just received word from the Mayor's office to dismiss everyone early incase something comes up."

Christina started to pack her bag and slipped it on over her shoulders, doing the same with her purse.

"You ok Mr. Valentine? You don't look so well." one of the students in the front row asked.

Terry tied his boat to the deck inside the boat house and pulled the ropes hanging from the ceiling to close the boathouse doors.

"Hey Terry, glad you came back, the mayor's ordered everyone off the water until these clouds go away. I tried radio'ing you but all i got was static," Stacy looked more worried than she usually did as she peeked in from the small office attatched to the boathouse.

"Yeah, the radio screwed up. You should head on home, I'm going to head into town to see if anyone knows what's going on." Terry pulled on a rain slicker and waved to his life long friend as he walked out onto the docks and headed towards the parking lot to fetch his truck.

Mike walked down the 8th grade hall knocking on one door at a time to tell the student's they were dismissed and to head straight home, across the street in the high school the students were being informed the same thing
