I have no idea why this intrigues me. I’m not sure what it’s about and I don’t see how it relates to summer but I’m still compelled to read it over and over.

Very interesting.

Two technical comments.
The last line reads _ Fomhar laughter and skipped off.._ Is there a typo?

Also the line: I think what you mean to say was it would return to it’s proper place, eventually. The tense is wrong. Either mean to say is or meant to say was . There is an agreement issue.

I didn’t really see what this had to do with summer either. But nevertheless it’s still a good story.

Ah- thanks for the grammatical tips. I’m always effing up the technicalities.

The story directly concerns summer, but I suppose you’d have to know some Gaelic to get the reference.

Oh do you mind explaining?

The four sisters are named after the Gaelic words for Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. Summer wants to leave the house but she has to let Spring have her turn first.

The mother is Morrigan. It’s not really from a mythic cycle but it seemed to make sense to me.

Well, the Gaelic clarification certainly helps. In itself it was a cute story of family stuff that worked pretty well on its own. With the car and dryer references the spear comment seemed out of place.
