The Sun is Bleeding by ROD BEACHAM
The shortest, coldest day of the year is approaching, the day when Sol moves farthest away from the earth. Unless coaxed back by an offering of blood, he may never return. All life comes from Sol. and all he asks, as a sign of gratitude, is the life of a young, virgin girl. For her and her family, her sacrifice is the greatest honour of all. Through it the peace and stability of society is preserved - until, just once, the necessity is questioned.
