There is a latvian tradition that if you swing on easter, then mosquitos won't bite you through all summer.
Actually it is also a fertility rite or something

*Happy birthday!* ( a Bioshock fanfic)
*Anarchy Writer* (2012)
Earl blinked. His vision was blurry as water dropped from a leak in the ceiling, arousing him from his sleep. He struggled to his feet and screamed. He was the monster of Rapture. He was a Big Daddy! Earl was wearing a thin diving suit with shoulder guards and knee and elbow pads that had multicolored tubes inserted in them from a pack in his back, he looked in a a pool he was wearing a gas mask like helmet with two glowing portholes where his eyes were. He backed up and looked at his hands on one was a fingerless glove with the palm exposed on the other hand was a heavy gauntlet with spiked knuckles strangely in place of the bulky drill. He looked around he didn't seem much tall and he was a lot more agile then most Daddies.
"What...? What Happened to me?"
He walked over to a table with a syringe and a Revolver he looked at the Syringe which a tag hanging off.
ELECTRO BOLT! CONTROL THE POWER OF THUNDER WITH A SNAP OF YOUR FINGERS
REMEMBER DON'T BE A DOLT USE ELECTRO BOLT!
Earl hated needles but it seemed like the only smart thing to do. He closed his eyes and jammed the needle into his exposed palm, for an instant nothing happened then suddenly Earl feel to his knees. His head felt like it had been electrocuted, every cell popped then reformed the pain most emanated from his right hand, He looked at the smoking flesh and saw electricity crackle. Earl allowed himself a smile, took the revolver and walked out of the room. He thought for a second then remembered he had been going to rapture for his Birthday when he and his sister were kidnapped now he was...This. He kept walking when he heard whispering.
"I told you you was wrong!"
"I'm not THE NUMBERS NEVER LIE!"
"Shush! Here it comes!"
Earl slowly walked towards the door and kicked it open. When he saw nothing he turned both ways, left and right. Nothing. He kept walking when something dropped behind him he whirled around as a woman with no nose or mouth swung with hooks at him, Grabbing her arm Earl slammed the barrel against her forehead and pulled the trigger. Her brain exploding from her skull with a sickening crunch. Earl looked at the dead body, He had always hated Splicers freaks of nature he walked over looking for the second voice when he felt a sharp pain on his hand. Looking down, He saw a large wasp about three inches long perched on his palm. As he swatted it away He looked up at at a Splicer wearing a lab coat who was hurriedly injecting a plasmid into his arm which was covered with boils, Earl aimed with his revolver but the man blasted a swarm of the wasps distracting him causing Earl to stumble back waving his arms blindly in hopes of swatting the wasps when he tripped and smashed through a window, letting the thick sea water flood into the hallway. He floated through the hallway, Struggling. His lungs were on fire. His mind was going black. Forcing his mouth open for air he realized he could breathe, he slowly trudged through the flooded cavern when he saw the Splicer who attacked with the wasps struggling for air.He grabbed it by it's neck and twisted, breaking it.The man still flailed wildly, Earl twisted again ripping the entire head from it's shoulders he scowled at the mutated head in his hand and crushed it,
"Scumbag."
He kept walking for what felt like hours when he came to a room. A door slammed shut behind him as the water drained into grates below him, He inspected the electric arcs between his fingers and opened the door and walked into what seemed to be an amusement park a little girl in a blue dress was running past him when a splicer grabbed her and threw her to the ground,
"MISTER BUBBLES! HELP!"
The Splicer raised his wrench to strike but Earl was behind him he grabbed his arm put his hand on the Splicer's shoulder and ripped it off. the Splicer turned and tried to run but Earl shot him in the back of his head blowing his brains all over a cut out of a clown. Earl walked over to the girl.
"Hey? you okay?"
"Mister Bubbles?"
"Who?"
A loud groan sounded through the area Earl turned
"What was that!?!"
The girl smiled.
"Mister Bubbles."
Earl turned to see a large hunched over creature with multiple portholes coming out with glowing red. for one hand it had a massive drill. Earl slowly backed away the creature groaned and charged Earl slamming into him. Earl felt the wind leave his body as he was smashed into a wall he looked up to see the creature swing towards him with it's drill. Earl rolled out of the way and shot the creature in the head with his revolver before kicking it .unfazed the creature grabbed him by his leg and smashed him into the wall then swung with the side of his drill hitting with a crack. Earl felt several Ribs ache as he was sent face first into the ground. Earl turned and looked at the glass ceiling. he took his revolver and fired, breaking the glass on a panel and causing water to gush down on the creature causing it to look up quizzically Earl took that time to blast it as much as possible with Electro-Bolt. the creature stumbled and collapsed flailing as the Brain sent a few last signals to it's limbs Earl walked over to the corpse and kicked it to see if it was alive. the girl rushed over and started crying at the sight of the creature. Earl looked at the girl.
"Uh, You need to get out of here!"
The room was filled with shouts of Splicers, Earl weighed his options. He didn't have enough ammo and using Electricity would fry him too, due to the water on the ground. Either way, he was dead!
