We still have a month and a half of summer left, and this season has certainly been a hot one. I’m ready for things to cool off, but it still leaves me with a pang of regret. School is getting started now for some, and I have to wonder — did I do everything I wanted this summer?

What are you doing to make the most of your time in the summer sun? If you’re anything like me, in this heat you probably get lost in daydreams when you stare off into nature. A boring field can become mysterious, a night sky can keep secrets, and even simple things can become ominous.

Explore the depths of your imagination this month and see what fascinating stories appear!

Prompt #1: Aurora What-e-alis?

It’s winter in the southern hemisphere, so darkness rules right now. The auroras are a magical experience, no matter where in the world you see them. We all know they’re created from a reaction between solar energy and the Earth’s magnetic field… but what if they were created by something else entirely? What else could create such a beautiful spectacle?
