You wake up Christmas Eve morning and it's cloudy and cool. About noon, light, fluffy snow begins to fall. By dusk, there is just enough ground cover so you can't see the grass, but the roads are still clear so everyone makes it home from work and shopping safely. By morning, 17 feet of snow has fallen, paralyzing the town. People can't even get out of their houses to take Purina Llama Chow to the stables so all the llamas, and other livestock, starve to death. Children can't get to school so they grow up illiterate and all marry their own cousins, destroying the town's future. You realize this is all your fault so you try to shovel all the snow over to the neighboring town's high school football field but there is too much. You die in the cold, only to be found in the Spring, two years later, half eaten by the Polar Bears which now live there because it has become so arctic-like.
I wish I didn't have more lights to still put up.
