Heat


Heat!  It enveloped her as she stepped outside, wrapping its hot, fiery arms around her as she left the place of her recent employment. 

She gasped under the weight of the humidity.  The heaviness left her struggling to move forward resisting the call of the air-conditioned office building she had left behind.  She felt the heat radiating upwards from the sidewalk, climbing up her legs, pulling on her, and slowing her pace as she walked with a lethargic gait toward her car cooking in the parking lot. 

Dignified she approached her vehicle, the turmoil boiling within matching the boiling air.
