Historians will wrestle with the echoes of the cataclysmic events, psychoanalysts will engage in perpetual discourse, and scientists, in their ceaseless pursuit of understanding, will grapple with the enigma that unfolded. Yet, none will definitively fathom the depths of what transpired.

In the realm of lesser wisdom, amidst the clamour of social media enthusiasts, resounding declarations arise, branding Benedict Verrall as a madman. Some assert that the events in the quaint southern hamlet were nothing more than a concocted tale, a sinister government conspiracy. They dismiss Samuel Whittingham as a mere figment of Verrall's imagination, attributing the unprecedented storms and their devastating toll to natural aberrations, not malevolence.
The truth, however, remains shrouded in obscurity. Verrall was neither a lunatic nor a harbinger of malevolence. While he set in motion the unfolding tragedy, malice had not been his intent.

Unbeknownst to him, a malevolent force lurked within—an insidious brain tumour pressing upon his very consciousness. Oblivious to the paranormal and metaphysical, he became an unwitting puppet to unseen forces.

Was it the tumour's influence or a manifestation of Verrall's madness, whether dream or nightmare? Such judgments lie in the hands of the reader to decipher.
