The sun was not merely shining but pressing its full, oppressive weight upon the world. A shimmering haze rose from the blistering asphalt, distorting the distant trees into wavering mirages. Inside the old house, the air was thick and motionless, a heavy blanket that offered no comfort. The oscillating fan in the corner whirred with a futile, rhythmic groan, pushing the stifling air from one side of the room to the other. Outside, the leaves on the ancient oak tree hung limp and utterly still, as if exhausted by the mere effort of existence. A lone cicada buzzed its raspy, electric song, a sound that seemed to amplify the heat rather than distract from it. From the kitchen, the faint clink of ice cubes in a glass promised a fleeting, cold relief that felt miles away. Every movement was a conscious decision, a small rebellion against the lethargy that the temperature enforced. This was a silent battle between the desire for activity and the body's simple plea for stillness. The entire day stretched ahead, a slow-motion interval dictated entirely by the unrelenting grip of the heat.
