Experiment # 1: Magic Realism
Experiment # 1: Magic Realism
(I did a second Experiment 1, because I had this idea and wanted to share it)
A young girl finds a snow globe in her grandfather’s attic that, when shook, makes the town around her come under a blizzard for two whole days and nights. The blizzard will commence in the area the globe is shaken, stretching out a few miles in radius from where the globe is shaken. The snow globe will work for any area of the world, as long as someone shakes it in that area. The blizzard does not come on right away, it begins exactly twelve hours after the globe is shook. The girl finds the globe in her grandfather’s attic in Boise, Idaho, then brings it with her on a road trip back to Charlotte, North Carolina, where she lives with her parents. Shaking it along the trip, the girl unknowingly creates a trail of blizzard behind her as her family travels towards Charlotte. Word gets out that there is a blizzard and the family hears this on the radio. Realizing the blizzard is behind them, this motivates them to get home faster, which continues the trail of blizzard across the continental United States. Federal authorities track the blizzard and realize it is only about ten miles wide and streaking across the country into places where blizzards should never be. They observe that the blizzard is following highways (because the globe has been shaken in the car on the road towards Charlotte). Because of this information, they begin to figure out how the storm was started, and over a course of discoveries, track down its origins in the girl’s new globe.
