The gravity storms worked like this: a minor fluctuation in the earth's increasingly unstable gravitational field would move through an area, much like any storm might, except that there was little notice; no clouds gathering along the horizon, no rumble of distant thunder to let people know it was coming. Some claimed they could feel the approach of these disturbances by the sense of lightness that entered their bones, as though their marrow was rising in its channels; doctors and scientists alike, however, tended to dispute this notion. For Buddy, the first clue was generally a rattle coming from a cupboard, or a piece of crockery left on the counter. Then he'd smell the dust. The Time of New Weather - Sean Murphy |
