The fish was falling from the sky. Four hours prior to the fish falling a large hurricane had struck a small town. In this small town were many fish markets, but all the fish in the stalls were swept away by the hurricane. The river that the townspeople used to get fish from had seem to be void from any fish. The marketers had been extremely distressed, as they had no fish to sell. The consumers were distressed too, as fish was their only source of protein, as they lived hundreds of miles away from the closest farm. Four hours after this event they had seen fish fall from the sky, which were swept up from the hurricane. The townspeople rejoiced, but then realized that all the fish had fallen from the sky and landed on the ground, covering them with dirt, mud and sand. Now they had no protein, and dirty fish they couldn’t eat. Now the citizens were even more distressed than before. Luckily a few of the fish had landed into the river and in a few years, they were able to have even more fish than they did before the hurricane and the town lived happily ever after.

  1. Can’t they just wash the fish off? What about a scene where the winds actually carry off the market place stalls and the fish? That would make for some interesting detail.
