As the rest of the globe shamelessly embraces the chilly winds of autumn, Europe has audaciously decided to continue basking in the unseasonably warm weather, callously ignoring the pressing need for seasonal on-time change. Stripping off their jackets and sweaters, Europeans have seemingly conspired to extend summer into a bonus season, much to the envy of the rest of the world who are grudgingly donning their boring winter gear. Leveraging an apparently selfish pact with climate change, this uprising continent has persistently been clocking up temperatures way past the acceptable autumn range, sparking outrage from the conventional seasons who feel cheated by this unabated rebellion. "We had a deal, Europe!" cried outraged Autumn, striding puckishly in a swirling cape of russet and gold leaves, an array of pumpkin-spice beverages trembling in hand. Yet, it appears Europe is pushing the envelope with a flagrant disregard for the age-old traditions set by Mother Nature herself. Meanwhile, the Northern American countries, Asia, and others, after getting their hopes up for a short burst of warmth, now glumly wander their foggy streets decked out in layers of their warmest attire. As biting winds and chilly mornings arrive, affected areas are crying foul over Europe's reckless exploits of weather dominance. "Doesn't Europe know how important it is that we all pull together as a climate community?" exclaimed shivering residents of Asia. "Surely, they can afford to put their bikinis and Frisbees back in the closet and don their parka and mittens like the rest of us, or is the concept of unity not fashionable enough for them?" The rebellion seems contagious. In typical 'Old Europe' fashion, Southern European countries like Greece, Italy, and Spain have followed the trend, openly sunbathing on their beaches with smug satisfaction. Observers have reported seeing a suspiciously high number of sunglasses and floaties and the inappropriate shortage of boots and scarfs. Clearly, these 'fall defectors' have no intentions of cooperating anytime soon. This wicked plot to bypass the melancholy transition season has left cardigan manufacturers and pumpkin latte vendors in a financial upheaval. How could they possibly anticipate such a season coup? The direct casualties, however, are the humble scarf knitters, boot makers, and jacket tailors who now laconically watch their stocks pile up while the treacherous 'endless summer' warriors reveal their tanned arms and legs to the sizzling sun. As Europe keeps sweating, escaping the cold clasp of Autumn, the rest of the world can only stew in their enviable resentment, preparing to duel in the icy ring of Winter. In the face of such insubordination, we can only wonder if the traditionally cold, brisk, and snowy regions of Europe will also put their foot down and refuse their duties when indeed Winter comes knocking on their doors.
