Perhaps you might first wish to read 'Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for Danger', which introduces Dr. Mecuniam to the reader. ***** The sky was thunderous dark; a sky you see in paintings but cannot believe could be real, but it was. To the west the palest blue sky as of a summer's day but overhead and coming from the east black, black clouds and with them a w...
