Kind of a weird problem…month won’t display sometimes

I made a page that displays just the last post I’ve made to display on the front page of my site.
You can see it here: https://blog.sweetvenus.org/lastpost.php

However, whenever I include it on the main page, the month gets truncated to the first letter:
https://www.sweetvenus.org

I cannot figure out how this is happening, when it displays fine before it is included and nothing else is being affected besides the month. Any ideas?

Here’s how I have the_time function called: <?php the_time(‘l, F j, Y @ g:i:s a’) ?>
