Flying insects will descend on cities, towns and villages from New England to North Carolina as part of a natural phenomenon that only occurs once every 17 years. Brood II cicadas will emerge for the first time since 1996 to cover areas hotter than 64 degrees from mid-April to late May. And there will be no escaping their noise — which has previously been compared to the sound of a New York City subway train. But there's no need to worry, as experts say they are harmless to humans and trees. the rest here

	Once Ixalla was ready, Tathrelle cornered her. “Before we leave for work, I just want to tell you, I’m sorry. I guess I sort of shut down last night. I know you were in pain and I wasn’t too terribly supportive.” There was a wall covering in the main part of their chamber, something that Tathrelle hadn’t noticed before. She stared at it for a second and then shook her head. Outside, a disembodied voice announced from a hidden speaker, “It is time to travel to all daytime places of employment. Transportation sleighs are available and ready. Citizens are encouraged to thank the sleigh drivers at the end of a successful transport. The government recommends haste, and requests that all pregnant persons be given preference for seating in their designated areas.” A little distracted, Ixalla just asked, “Pain?” Untrustworthy - by me, actually.
