The Maypole That Won't Stand Still
The town's Maypole walks away each dawn, dragging its ribbons through mud and markets. Children follow, laughing. Elders mutter about old pacts. Each night it returns, planted deeper, roots spreading beneath the square. Track where it goes, learn what it seeks, and decide whether to anchor it or set it free before the roots reach the well.
