Climate—disordered

"Climate—disordered" by Sam Merwin spins a tale of ambition gone awry in the competitive world of resort towns. The story follows Wiley Cordes, a clever public relations guru hired by Wheedonville by the Sea to revive its flagging tourist industry. Cordes dreams up a daring plan: to manipulate the weather and blanket the rival town of Burden Bay in snow, stealing their vacationers and boosting Wheedonville's fortunes. For a while, his scheme works like a charm, bringing wealth and attention to his client. However, this success sparks further escalation, ultimately proving that no dirty trick remains secret. Both literal and figurative storms rain down on those that seek an unfair advantage in the business world.
