Today is the shortest day of the year. Every day hereafter the Sun will illuminate the horrors a little longer.

Yikes!

Longest Day down here! The horrors shall shrink back into the shadows a little more each day. But we can still hear them.

You could be talking about the Death Orb That Warms Us or the horrible far-right UK tabloid, and either one could work in this situation.

Only 90 days until Spring!

This is hemisphere erasure.
