A Salem Resident's Reaction to Sunlight

The two of them stared directly overhead, with the backs of their heads tipped back. One had blonde hair that shined brilliantly as the wind tickled its ends. His friend had crew-cut hair as brown as the mud beneath their shoes.

"Whoa, what's that in the sky?" The blonde asked the other, his mouth stretching as if he planned to drink the light in.

"I can't see; it's burning my eyes!" The brunette winced, ducking his head as he blinked repeatedly.

"But, man, does it feel good on my skin." Stretching out his arms, closing the blonde his eyes with a sigh.

The brunette turned and looked at him. "Dude, are you high?"

"But look at all that blue stuff around it. It's so cool!" He didn't seem to notice.

"Hey...where's the rain?" A third voice chimed in as she trotted over to meet them. Her eyes rose in the same direction from beneath red bangs. "What's that yellow thing in the sky?"
