The heat

Oof. It just got hotter and hotter and more and more humid to the point that it was so heavy that no one in the city could sleep or talk about anything else. And then one night it just exploded, and the wind slammed our windows shut and whipped open the balcony door scattering papers everywhere. Lightning ripped across the sky and, in my half sleep, it felt like the world was going to crack open. The next day it was cooler. And now it's just beautiful again.
