“The Last Day of Summer” by Lars-Ole Kjæmpenes

The sky was wrong. Liora frowned as she stood at the edge of the field, watching the deep violet streaks pulsing across the horizon like veins. The air hummed with an unnatural stillness. The Nyxarian summer evenings had always brought a warm, golden glow, but today, it felt different—colder, darker. She glanced at Orin, her younger brother, chasing fireflies in the fading light.
