WHAT DATE IS IT?

Recently, work had a calendar competition. They gace out a bit of prose and you had too illustrate it. No big prizes, just for the doing of it.
Mine was used but not after a few drafts. Here's the never to be published original.
All I wanted was to feature a viking in some way. Is that so bad....?
Apparently yes.

I tried to make it better by changing the horns to wings, but still no. Ah well.
Vikings ain't for everyone I guess.
