It was hard to tell at first that anything was different. The sky over the Isle generally had only a few settings. Gloomy night. Gloomy day. Rain. Sometimes there was rain during a gloomy night or a gloomy day. But... that was about it.
And this night, right at the end of the month, was more foul than most. No rain, but the air was thick with humidity. The wind was just shy of blustery and bitter cold. A taste of winter that took a cooling season right into dread chill. It was a miserable night. But there have been bad nights before. It was just a night. Right?
It probably took a while for anyone to notice that what passed for day failed to come, however. In fact this horrible night was exactly 24 hours longer than it ought to be, like it was caught at the peak of the middle of the night and held there for an extra night in the middle of the current one.
A night too long. Too cold. And perhaps... too weird.
Then again, this was the Isle. Maybe no one even noticed an extra twenty four hours without sun.
