The summer sun beats down, turning your house into an oven. Sweat drips from your brow as you step onto the scorched lawn, the air thick with heat. The garden hose lies coiled, a silver serpent promising relief. You press it to your lips, turn the spigot, and a cool torrent floods your mouth. Your belly swells, translucent, water sloshing inside you. You feel lighter, almost floating. you, do you dare to keep drinking?
