Last day submission to the monthly contest, because why not.
Sex only go to: ——————–
Otherwise stick around for a long intro.
It was a hot day in late summer. The kind of heat that people wouldn’t even want to go outside to cool down. The kind that if you took a cold shower and dried off you would be clammy wet from sweat before you reached your clothes. Most people stayed in doors or in the shade, often partially submerged to cool down. The weather report had promised rain to cool down, but it was late or not coming any more. The sky was still a spotless deep, light blue. Regardless, the air was heavy with moisture, making the world feel muggy.
After dinner it was cooler, especially in the (admittedly small) woods close by. The wind seemed to be picking up from a standstill to a soft breeze. I was enjoying the air. It smelled of dried grass. A bit like hay. Even in the late sun the contrast of the tree shadows with the light was intense. Like everything was wrung through a filter to add colour and contour.
