In the Season of Scorching Lies
Despite the heat, I dashed into our neighbor's place, grabbed the last of their food and water, and hurried back.
It was not right, but I would do anything for Jennifer.
Yet, she cozied up to another guy just for a cold drink.
When I tried to talk to Jennifer about it, she and her new friend shoved me out the window.
"Wesley, just die!"
The fall did not kill me, the building was not tall enough.
However, the hot ground melted my shoes and burned a huge hole in my clothes.
My skin hit the pavement, sizzling, and the smell of roasting meat filled the air.
