Forecast for Oakhaven, Zone 0.

Forecast for Oakhaven, Zone 0. Discontinued service as of Tuesday.

**Atmospheric Pressure:** Fluctuating between 14 and 2 psi. The drop correlates with the sag in the corrugated iron roof of the post office, where three screws have yielded to gravity, leaving a crescent-shaped tear in the metal that whistles at three-knot winds. The pressure is not felt; it is heard in the detachment of shingles onto the porch floor, a dry, brittle clatter that marks the hourly delamination of the structure.

**Relative Humidity:** 100%. Measured by the condensation pooling in the hollowed-out eye sockets of the stuffed bear left on the swing set. The fur is matted into dark, heavy ropes, stiff with dried saliva and mold spores that bloom in a fuzzy, grey lattice across the roof of the mouth. The air does not move; it clings to the wool, pulling moisture from the atmosphere until the seams burst with a wet, tearing sound that echoes in the empty streets.

**Wind:** Sustained gusts of four miles per hour from the northeast. Direction indicated by the drift of ash settling on the kitchen table in house number 42. The ash is a fine, silt-like powder, accumulating in the corner near the salt shaker, which stands upright and empty. The wind does not stir the dust; it merely deposits it, layer by microscopic layer, until the grain of the wood is obscured by a uniform, pale film that smears under the pad.

**Precipitation:** None expected. The gutters have been pulled free from the fascia boards by the weight of last year’s leaf litter, now a compressed, black sludge that oozes onto the walkway. The liquid runs in thick, viscous threads, staining the concrete a permanent, rust-colored brown that cannot be scrubbed away, only worn down by the slow friction of boots that no longer arrive.
