The Absolute hottest I have ever been

You wake up to the sound of the radio; a record setting high temperature has been set in your town. You get out of your bed and turn the A.C on. Its only 8 A.M. in the morning. You stumble towards the fridge to grab the milk, only to find the milk is bad, disappointed you grab the eggs instead. You crack an egg into the bowl, as you do you see bead of sweat drop into the egg bowl, it’s your sweat. You walk to the A.C. system and try to find out why its not working…it was fried…

* * * *

You start to panic, thinking some water will help you. You grab a cup and turn the tap on as cold as you possibly can, it comes out hot…you smell fire, and the stench of burning food…you walk into the empty kitchen to see the eggs have lighted on fire, as fast as possible you run and get a bucket of water and put it out. It was still in the bowl…you aren’t hungry anymore, you just want a cool place and maybe some cold water. You think the pool is a good place to go to cool off. You get your swimming suit on, and start for the door, the biggest mistake of your life…

* * * *

You reach for the door, and grab the doorknob. You feel a searing pain in your hand as you twist the doorknob, you release your hand before the doors opens, jumping back from pain you curse and go to the kitchen to grab the pot holders. You get them and walk for the door, you grab the doorknob fast, twisting as quick as humanly possible. You swing the door open, and, almost like an explosion, you get thrown back from a tremendous wall of heat, crippling with pain you try to scream, but to no avail, you throat is to dry. You curl into a ball and roll over moaning and trying to grab onto something, anything that could block the heat from your face or a few seconds, rolling in pain. Your vision go white, blue, red, writhing in constant pain you roll again and you start to fall…

* * * *

You awake to the sound of a radio, sweating you stand up. You look around and realize that it’s all over...it was just a dream…you relax, because now You now know how it feels to be The Hottest You Have EVER been in your life!

Really really liked this story. Good use of descriptive adjectives. As I read it I was cold.
