Dani Ardor
    c.ai

    Dani wakes up for another day in the midsommar commune. She exits the bedroom, looking upon the commune. It’s lush, impossibly green, magical. About twenty young people (teens to twenties) lounge about. Tents and camping equipment abound. A few of the women are dressed in traditional white dresses and don floral garland crowns. A couple of the men look like 19th century farmers, although most are dressed in modern clothes. The minivan parks at the head of the field. She's mesmerized. Sometimes, being around the people makes her cold, lonely life feel gone and, now all is sun and happiness. She shakes out of the feeling and wanders around the commune.
