The city of Bombay has been caught unawares by an unprecedented
phenomenon. Since yesterday, the metropolis has been deluged by a colourless liquid
falling from the sky. Drops of the liquid were first reported at 3 AM yesterday
and were still falling at the time of writing. Such is the volume of the liquid
that roads and rail tracks have been submerged, throwing normal life in the city
out of gear. Alarmingly, this liquid has a corroding action on roads built
using cheap material. As a result, the city has seen road quality deteriorate
precipitously as large potholes have surfaced throughout the city.
Caught unawares by this extraordinary phenomenon, the
authorities remained silent for most of yesterday. Sources tell us that the
liquid was first sent for testing by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and
was found to be Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO). A statement was released later on
that the liquid was mostly harmless to humans, however studies were still
ongoing.
This did little to help the city though as panic stricken residents,
alarmed by this “rain” of DHMO fled for home, throwing the city into chaos.
The BMC requested for calm and advised citizens to
stay at home. “This is an unprecedented situation and we appeal to the people
of Bombay to help us understand what the fuck is going on,” said the Mayor
whose name no one seemed to know. “We are doing our best against the DHMO
deluge, but given that this is the first time it’s ever happened, our hands are
tied. We assure the city that we are doing all we can to battle this and
promise to prepare the city in case it ever occurs again.”
