The only thing remarkable about William Warbler was he thought he could stop the rain. Really believed it. He’d tell anyone who’d listen he could do it too. Where he got such a screwy idea was a popular topic of conversation with the folks that knew him. They were mostly polite about it because of the Aspergers but nobody believed it. Except me. Name’s Freddie Yost and the only thing remarkable about me is I’ve seen him do it. Dozen times at least. Maybe you think I’m crazy and maybe I am, but I swear it’s true.
