The Running of the Saps

The persimmon sap has started to flow in Periwinkle County, which means the wild bores have returned.

They go up to Capital City for the winter, following the scent of the fertilizer runoffs to know which streams to use. They hibernate underneath the state house until the persimmon sap begins to run. Then they know it is time to return to the woods along The Topaz River in the south valleys of PC, near the town of Plumpona.

The closer they get, the harder they run.

The persimmon developers, of course, want the sap themselves, and when the word comes that the sap is running, they know the bores will not be far off. They themselves begin to run through the valleys where no truck or ATV can go, trying to get to the sap first. Jed Bozos is chief among them, for he is sure that all he needs to complete his clothes Grindel is a persimmon sap coating to hold the ions in place. [1]

Then it is time for the emergency first-responders, for each year there are collisions of bores and developers and college students on spring break. Be careful not to buy extra virgin persimmon pulp, for it has been created when bores and persimmons and developers and students crash together.
