Light Boxes
by Shane Jones
"In Light Boxes,
the inhabitants of one closely-knit town are experiencing perpetual
February. It turns out that a god-like spirit who lives in the sky,
named February, is punishing the town for flying, and bans flight of all
kind, including hot air balloons and even children's kites. It's
February who makes the sun nothing but a faint memory, who blankets the
ground with snow, who freezes the rivers and the lakes. As endless
February continues, children go missing and more and more adults become
nearly catatonic with depression. But others find the strength to fight
back, waging war on February."
