It's the Sun's fault! Part 4

Jason's alarm went off at 6:30 in the morning. This was standard operating procedure.

Jason's eyes slowly opened to total darkness. This wasn't standard operating procedure.

Assuming that he mis-programmed his alarm, he snoozed it.

Ten minutes later when the alarm woke him up, he discovered that light still wasn't seeping in through his curtains. So he snoozed again.

And again. And again. And until 8.

"This can't be right," Jason mumbled as he got out of bed and walked to the window. He raised the blinds and discovered that all was dark around his house. The house across the street, though, was bathing in the warm glow of the morning sun shine.

"What the hell?" Jason asked no one as he scratched his head. He went to the living room and turned on the TV to check the news.

It was indeed 8 AM and it certainly was a sunny day.

After a few moments of processing this info, Jason shouted, "Shit, I'm late!" and sprung into an abbreviated version of his morning routine.

Thirty minutes later, he was pulling out of the driveway and onto the street.

Before he drove away, he took one last look at his house.

All around, the sun shone brightly. Except where Jason's property line started. The entire house and yard were encased in shadow.

And so was Jason's car.

He looked up through the sun roof and saw the cloud hovering over his auto.

"?" Jason literally thought.

He drove to work at break-neck speed as the Wind directed the car-covering cloud through the city traffic.

As Jason locked up his car at the office, he finally started realizing that he'd experience no sun during his lawsuit. Oh well. At least his car would stay cool.

He walked into his office where a county servant was waiting for him with some folded papers.

The Sun, in an effort to protect himself, had filed a restraining order.
