The Rain

The sky grew green that night and a hard rain fell in the night. It was raining cubes. Small cubes, the size of candies, in different colors too. Cubes the taste of strawberry, mint, orange and kiwifruit fell from the great candy factory of the gods.

The destruction caused by the cube rain was unprecedented. Cities were demolished by that evil rain on that dark night. The cubes piled up on themselves in the streets, they didn't melt and they didn't vanish with the sun. They got stuck in the wheels and the insides of the machines that were brought in to clean them up. The acids didn't melt them and cleaning them by hand was nigh impossible. The waters in the rivers clogged and froze within itself due to some strange reaction with the cube rain. Electric wires snapped with the weight of the cubes as they stuck and clung to them. Most displaced cubes turned to a slushy, pink colored goo every night (the darkness seemed to have something to do with it) and this made it impossible for people of the world to wade through the sludge every morning. The cubes that were not moved from their positions were the same come morning. 

So, after due considerations and several votes in the upper echelons of the government, the parents of the world did the only thing they could do. 

They let loose the kids on the streets. 

It was a grand day for the children of the world. They picked up the solid cubes and ate, ate and ate till their teeth were sticky and they hands smelled of strawberry, mint and kiwifruit. Every night the mothers and father of the Cube Cub Army brushed the teeth of the gallant soldiers with industrial strength toothpastes and then in the morning they were on the streets again, cleaning the cubes by the only way they knew, the only way that was possible, eating them.

A year passed. Most streets had some semblance of cleanliness though the pink goo was still present in places. 

Then, they sky grew green once more.

And it rained bricks. Of different colors.
