I went outside to get the mail and the heat slapped me like I owed it money.
And this isn’t even the hottest day. It will be 100F when I have to go see the doctor next week. I’m thinking of rescheduling.

CALLER: THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. I opened my front door and the heat slapped me like I owed it money. My flip-flops melted into the driveway. I’m barefoot and spiritually defeated.
