Chapter Three: the second reborn

Eric Myers was having a bad day. He had just lost his job, had no idea what he was going to do now and he had to walk home in the rain. As he walked by the side of the road, cars travelled past him alternately soaking him with water or covering him with mud.

Eric looked up and saw a large tree under which he could shelter. As he ran towards it, the rain turned to snow.

"What the?" he exclaimed, "It's summer! It isn't even meant to be raining, let alone snowing!"

He reached the shelter of the tree and looked up to see pretty, multi coloured lights hanging above his head. A ball of red/black light floated down and hovered in front of him.

"Ok. Now this is getting weird" he said as he reached up slowly to touch the ball of light. "Rain that turns to snow in the middle of summer, the northern lights, random balls of light. What's next a tidal wave?"

Suffice to say that he was greatly annoyed when he was hit by a giant tidal wave and subsequently whited out.
