he felt a let-down by the angry weather. A Summer sun
imposing its will and hottest it seemed in recent memory.
Curses would only worsen the impact he knew this for a
fact. Past experience pointed to some semblance of truth.
Better option was to go along and endure so the hurt would
make itself bearable. A twisted smile dampened the sun's
face a little but just a tad from its brightness. Earthlings
might rant and jump but to the sun it was the least of its

ReplyDeleteAmazing photographic evidence of the sun's drying wrath! I like the shift to the sun's voice in part of this....her twisted smile.
ReplyDeleteThe sun is exhibiting its might here all right.

Sad when blue skies are unfriendly but the dog days just seem to go on and on until we long for that black cloud bringing summer's wet. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like a lovely summer's day but when the heat is overbearing well that's a different story altogether.
ReplyDeleteWonderful write Hank.
Yvonne.
Yep, sure going to make you sweat, that is a safe bet
ReplyDeleteAfter the sun's might, the rains are a welcome change Hank!!
ReplyDeleteOur summer has been unseasonably dry and when it has rained it's been short and the sun comes out searing hot only now with added humidity. No, curses don't help! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderfully descriptive.
