welcome to Helix
Welcome to the town of Helix, a place named after the Greek mythological god of the sun Helios. However as most would assume this place does not live up to it's name, in fact the town of helix is notorious for it's lack of sun, the skies nearly always over cast, though as if to tease the people of the town it is nearly always in the mid sixties to high eighties. The winter isn't much of a change from the spring, summer, and fall, well unless you call a dramatic temperature decrease no big thing, which for the people of Helix it is not.
In winter snow thickly covers the ground matched only by the thick layers of ice making the roads death traps, along with this the temperature changes greatly in a very short amount of time. Mid November is usually when the temperature starts to decrease going from sixties to fifties, fifties to forties, forties to thirties, until finally it evens out to be somewhere between twenty and twenty five degrees on average, though there are those rare thirty degree days.
You may ask why would anyone wish to live in a place such as this where within a week the winter comes in for the kill, all year round there is hardly any sun? You might wonder why anyone in their right mind (if that exists) would choose to live in a place where there is literally nothing but old run down stores, angst filled teens, and submissive, or abusive adults. Well the truth is no one chooses to live here they all just sort of due, not one of their brain washed minds stopping to wonder why a half mile out of the town's boundaries you reach the land of plenty, a valley of sun. No one chooses this place instead it chooses them, but what happens when you try to escape? Good question.
No one knows what draws people to the damned town of Helix, all anyone, especially outsiders can tell is that something isn't right about this place where the sun refuses to show it's scornful face, but the heat still surfaces to torment them. But in a town like Helix deep dark secrets can't sty hidden forever. Something only the lifers know... Well all that can be said for now is Welcome to Helix, Arizona; the oddest place you'll ever know, or is it?...
