Prompt: Write about a mythical person or creature doing something unusual. Hunting at night had always been fun,
But Diana desired a day in the sun. Her pale complexion demanded vacation. Moonbeams just don't yield the same pigmentation. So off to her brother Apollo she went. Upon striking a deal she was intent. "Apollo," she said, "make your dear sister smile And let me drive your chariot a while." Thought he, just one day could not be a sin, As he considered the plea of his paler twin. "For one day only, you have a deal." And oh, how with glee Diana did squeal! She traded her bow for his golden reins, Checked the feed bags, and took great pains To ensure that all was in tip-top condition Before taking advantage of her given permission. For she now controlled the length of said day, And she fully intended to take the long way. So she zig-zagged and spiraled and arced through the sky, And the people below were left wondering why This day was so weird and so long and so strange, And Apollo was left to regret the exchange.
