The world is full of many mysterious sights and creatures. It is also home to a few odd sounds as well. The lake town of Calmview is one such location.
At random intervals, ranging from a day to two months, a loud boom, like a mixture of thunder and a cannon, is heard. This sound can vibrate walls and Smaller regular sounds occur at regular intervals. So exact are this small booms that you can set you watch by them, with some small booms on the hour and others every day at 6:00 am. These smaller booms can be drowned out or ignored quite easily.
No-one can make out the exact location that the sound comes from, but the majority of the time it appears to originate above lake Harmony, the lake by which Calmview resides. Once, 34 years ago the Thunder Cannon(as the locals have dubbed it) appeared to go off above the middle of town, right as an unpopular mayor was making a demand to the local people. The boom that day made several people permanently deaf, including the mayor who left town soon after.
