The Sun rose brightly that morning. The people gathered in the temples at dawn, dressed in white, to worship.
The priests had called them there to witness the culmination of their centuries of devotion. Of their sacrifices.
For countless ages the Sun had given life to Earth, and purpose to its people.
Today was the day that the meaning of it all would be revealed.
Tired, hungry and thirsty, the entire population of the Land watched as the Sun rose in the sky.
Until it reached the zenith.
Twelve o’clock.
Midday.
Noon.
Then it exploded.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary Tuesday November 22nd Woke up at 7.31. Got up, washed, dressed, and crossed the day off the calendar. Came downstairs and ate breakfast. Went for a walk. When I came back there was a package addressed to me on my doorstep. What a surprise! I took it into the house and opened it. Inside were seven envelopes. On each one was written a day of the week. I put them all neatly on the living room table and opened the envelope labelled ‘Tuesday,’ because that was the day I’d crossed off the calendar. That meant it must be today.
