Caught by Darkness

"One day it just started snowing, or so the world thought. The white powder settled on everything, but seemed to attach itself more readily to living forms. Plant life crystallized instantly. Dogs and cats ran sluggishly out of sight, presumably to die in a more dignified fashion in solitude. The Dow Jones fell seven points and then was no more. When the powder settled on people they went rigid instantly as the crust thickened around them like a plaster shell."-"The Burning One" by Mark Anthony Crittenden.
