Now We All Have Metal Skin
by Josef O.
Seattle - The world has changed and we all have become metal men. The National World Metal Men Conference is being held in New York this week to examine the consequences. We are heavy, and can no longer sleep in our beds. We sink in the ocean. Our air planes will not work. We no longer need to eat or drink.
"There is no explanation for this" says Carl East Man, leading biologist. "No one will ever know what happened or why."
We spend our days sitting outside. It is difficult to speak in our old languages. We cannot harm ourselves. Maybe it is no longer possible to die.

Things Continue To Get Worse in Regard to The Sea
By D.D.
OCEAN LANDS (AP) - Boiling seas, whirlpools, dead bodies floating. These are all things wrong with the sea, and it looks like it gets worse.
"It's pretty bad," says marine biologist. "Bad indeed, maybe worse than bad."
A flame geyser erupts from the cave of water to claim an errant sea gull.
"These things happen every thousands of years," says same biologist. "Nothing to be done but wait."
The sea has been like this for two days now, and god knows how long we will have to wait to go in boats again. Fishermen are out of jobs, and fish have resigned themselves to the release of death.
