The Borrowed Sun
For one afternoon the sun hangs lower than it should, casting two shadows from every person—one obedient, one rebellious. The extra shadows pick pockets and start fights. Reach the hilltop lens focusing sunlight wrong, align the ritual mirrors, and merge the selves before nightfall doubles everyone.
