American Horror Story: Penguins

You woke up on Saturday morning, wrapped in a cocoon made of sheets and blankets, but your feet felt like they were stuck in a freezer. Why was it so cold? You hastily put on your clothes and peered out the window. You couldn’t believe it. The yard was completely white. Turns out, it had snowed overnight! It never snows here, but today seems to be an exception. Overjoyed, you ran outside, eager to play in the fresh snow. You looked up at the cloudy gray sky, grinning, then tentatively placed a foot into the white patch in front of you. It felt soft, and sank underneath your feet readily. You put your hand into the snow, attempting to grab a handful so you could make a snowball. Something was wrong. The snow didn’t feel cold, and the chunk you were holding wouldn’t break off from the rest of the snow. You yanked it and it finally tore off in a jagged chunk, inspecting it suspiciously. It felt a lot like foam. You then came to the shocking realization that it really was foam. The snow was fake! You angrily stomped through the door and down into the dungeon, clutching the fake snow. You stopped in front of a cell containing a single penguin, shoving the foam in its  face. “You did this, didn’t you?” You accused it, waving the foam in front of its face. It looked up at you innocently, but you wouldn’t be deceived so easily. That penguin was definitely the culprit. “Your friends can’t help you now. I’ve got you locked up, and you’d better tell me who’s been helping you if you wanna live!” It took out a cell phone and called its friends, asking them to bring real snow. You took the phone away from it, assuming that one of its penguin friends smuggled it in, and put it in your pocket. The penguins took an airship from Antarctica carrying 66.6 tons of real snow and brought it to your house. They slowly dumped the whole thing into your yard, causing an avalanche. Satisfied that the penguins had complied with your request, you gladly accepted the snow that fell around you, until the snow formed a giant ice cube, trapping you inside. You were utterly helpless as  you watched the penguins lift you into their airship and take you away to Antarctica.
