"IT'S SO FUCKING HOT!" The words ripped from Cassandra's throat, raw and desperate. Heat waves rose from the asphalt, making the world waver. Her red sweater felt like a furnace, a terrible choice in this 98-degree hell. She stood beside you, both of you having slipped away from the rest of the Goth Punks, now just two creatures slowly cooking under the white sun. The air was a tangible weight, pressing down.

The drink inside refused to fall. Her last shred of composure evaporated into the blistering air. Just perfect.
