Did I Just Meet the Man of the Summer?

Issue 84 | June 2026

After listening to the song of the summer (the happy birthday song), and reading the Psalm of the summer (Leviticus 18:22), I thought I had just about done everything this season had to offer. That was until I met Don. Don is the man of the summer.

I met Don the same way I meet all my friends, I work at a haunted house and if I scare someone who looks cool I take off my mask and tell them "I'm not actually a loonitick, I just work here. I actually hate scaring people."

Don is one foot tall and about thirty pounds when really far away. Don works at the U.S. Mint, it doesn't pay well but he makes a lot of money. Don's whole vibe screams "summer", or maybe it's because he actually screams the word "summer" every few minutes because his daughter named "Summer" went missing two years ago (she's the worst). He loves the water, which is unfortunate because he can't swim and all the beaches we visit have a strict "no drowning" policy. I love Don happy pride month!
