Genre: Fantasy

Excerpt:
Everyone in town wore long hair in those days\\u2014 children, grown folk, household beasts, beasts of the wild. Even trees and flowers bore long and thick filaments. Even the insects! The bumblebees bore the thickest and most luxuriant coats in all the country.

And those who lost their hair\\u2014by illness or nature\\u2014 even they bore weighty wigs.

Those who never visited the region would ask why. Why did all insist on having such long locks?

The answer was a single word.

Winter.
