"Oh no," thought Bill. "The law of gravity has failed again..." He noticed this when he started floating towards the ceiling of his small four room apartment. It was a good thing he was indoors. "Ow," he said as he hit the stucco roof.
With the skill of someone who had done this before, Bill managed to manoeuvre himself towards his bookcase. Luckily it was fastened to the wall and the books were wedged in tightly, so it was stationary. He grabbed hold of the bookcase and pulled himself to the floor. He used one hand to grasp the wood and the other to pull out a few encyclopedias. These he strapped to his feet with some old shoelaces he had floating around.
"There. That's better," he muttered. He decided to sit down and wait this out. It usually didn't last long. It was then that he noticed that his favourite chair was now a two dimensional black mass. "Oh great," thought Bill. "I guess the colour blue now repels light, too." He looked around and confirmed his fear. Everything blue in his apartment was now a dark flat lump, with only it's outline defined.
Bill walked over to his window to see what was happening outside. Bang. He bumped into the window lightly. He must have misjudged the distance. Bill glanced outside. Except for a scattered few fluffy white clouds, the sky was now a black void. Other than a few people who were caught outdoors when the no-gravity problem hit. They were all floating causally up into space, only to burn up as they hit the ozone layer. It was somewhat of a neat effect, the little bursts of light that flickered in the darkness of a once blue sky. Hey, there was Sam, Bill's friend, hanging on to a tree. Bill also noticed an unusual number of car accidents around the stop signs and stop lights surrounding his apartment. Strange, the seatbelts should have stopped them from floating.. they shouldn't have been affected by the no-gravity problem. What could have caused their accidents? All of a sudden it dawned on him. He remembered banging into the window. "Geez! Inertia, or friction or something must be screwed up too! When will it end?" he cried.
And then, what with the passage of the new pro-choice law, Mother Earth decided to abort. The End.
