I think the one driver going the wrong way was trying to change it back
If you felt a shift in planetary energy last Thursday, you’d be correct. That huge and scary roundabout in Stunkton had too many cars on it at once, and created so much momentum in one direction that the Earth’s rotation reversed. The repercussions of this have been felt all over the globe, such as the recent rise in gas prices (in order to discourage driving on the roundabout).
The scene was nightmarish according to reports from eyewitnesses. A comically large tornado formed in the center of the roundabout, seeming to summon storms of rain, hail, and lightning. The winds were so fast that they almost rivaled an average Ballsackville day. As the tornado in the center grew, it sucked in cars from the roundabout, which thankfully halted the momentum enough for the Earth to take back control and return things to normal.
The phenomenon is now being referred to as “The Stunkton Revolution” by scientists (not to be confused with the time Stunkton revolted against its shitty local government — just kidding that never happened, we are cowards). The strong tourism industry in Stunkton has already begun capitalizing on the “The Stunkton Revolution,” changing the city’s motto to “The place near Fundy, that also has the tidal bore, that also made the Earth rotate weird one time.” I thought it was pretty wordy but whatever.
Stunkton locals are saying that the roundabout has been a consistent source of terror in the city with the unclear roadsigns, faded road-paint, and several entrances/exits to the roundabout all being factors in the city’s general aversion to the road system. Having grown up in Stunkton, I think the roundabout is fine but I also understand that I will probably die on it one day, so, take that for what it’s worth.
The city has since vowed to take the proper steps necessary to prevent any future Stunkton Revolutions. Like the other things the city has vowed, they haven’t yet revealed exactly what their plan is but surely they’ll do it before you forget about it. Probably.
