HT100 Challenge #78: Sum-sum-summertime
Title: A Midsummer Nightsmare
Author: Lyrastar
Codes: Augustus Hill
Rating: G (if there is such a thing in Oz fic)
A MIDSUMMER NIGHTSMARE
The Celtic druids celebrated Alban Heruin, or the longest day of the year. It was the crowning glory of the seasons--an apex of light--with more sun than any other day. In the summer ahead, crops would be bountiful and people could frolic at will.
In Oz we don't celebrate the solstice. We sure don't frolic free. We want shorter days, not longer. We'll pass on the light; there's nothing here we care to see. And as for the crops we've planted, it would be just as well if they didn't flourish.
They've only caused us grief so far.
