Description
“No.
The sun does not set at three o'clock in the afternoon.
I don't care what you say.
I refuse to believe that it does.”

“not this far south”

…Is what the beaked doctor would tell them every year.
Every single one.
Annoyed.
Annoyed at the growing darkness, and the increasing cold.
Indignant even.
By the very idea of it.

Desperate at the knowledge of what the plague doctor mask did to most people, and how darkness only made it worse.
Not to mention the long treks between villages. Which would have to be walked nearly blindly.

Denying it would stop it from happening.
That, it seemed, was the mantra.

Then of course at some point they would be standing there, at three o'clock, in total darkness.

Just like the year before.
And the one before that.

The doctor knew of course.
The doctor had this little outburst on an annual basis.
Not knowing by now, would have been near impossible.
