Written For Challenge: 252 – Harvest at tw100

Warnings/Spoilers: None

Summary: The annual Harvest Festival is always the same – more or less.

 

The harvest festival was in an uproar when Torchwood arrived. Fruit and vegetables bouncing between pews like rubber balls, tins rolling down the aisle, loaves of bread stacking themselves like building blocks.

The entire congregation was sprawled haphazardly about, laughing their heads off, and the vicar had a black eye from being hit in the face by a wayward bunch of celery.

The cause of the chaos sat blinking innocently beside the font.

Harmless. A Rigolian party favour.

Ianto switched it off; everything stopped moving except the giggling congregation.

“Chemical spill causes hallucinations?”

“Again?”

“They believe it every year.”

“True.”

The End

One wonders how many years this has been happening. Given that they apparently always buy the "Chemical Spill Causes Hallucinations' explanation, I'd suspect it's a regular thing.

That's the idea that I had - something similar happens every year, but the congregation enjoys it so much they're perfectly willing to accept whatever explanation they're given and just look forward to next year's harvest festival.

I suspect that the rift connects at that point in Cardiff and on that particular day, to the place the party favours are made and they have a new one fall through each year, lol!

Thank you, glad you liked it!
