Heat Wave

Sometimes I dream of that night. I think if it wasn't summer, everything would have been different. But it was just so hot. In my dreams, the world is an oven. I'm baking, roasting, broiling. It was 108 degrees that day, 80% humidity. Someone was once acquitted on the Twinkie defense. Isn't the heat defense just as good? If it wasn't so hot, I wouldn't have done it. But it was. And I did. And secret number two, I'm not sorry.
