Sorry for the late post. The fall quarter is almost over, and I've been busy and stressed. If you want more frequent updates, head over to my patreon. On to the post!
Sweat builds upon your neck and chest. Your bedding cocoons you. There's no sleeping without a comforting weight on top. Your new tower fan blasts on the second-highest setting. It's quiet, unlike your old creaky fan dead in the apartment dumpster.
A voice in the distance calls. Who? Your face flushes and the crown of your head is soaked. A name, whose? You shiver from the dampness as your sweat cools from the blowing cold air. "Mommy!" A child? There shouldn't be a kid at your place. Louder and louder, "Mommy, mommy, mommy!" "Help!"
You're fighting with your bedding. "Mom-" Your eyes open. Your voice dies as it hits the wall. Summer heat never lets you sleep. END.
