May Eve Boundary
On the last day of April, the town boundary stones walk inward a few paces, shrinking fields and patience. Farmers grab pitchforks; surveyors grab measuring chains that bite. Escort the stones back, negotiate with the fey surveyor who claims spring rent is due, and redraw the map before May steals the town.
