FROG BOIL 8-03-09 by Boomerangcomesback
It was hot today. Sweltering. You could feel the heat creeping up on you, like a scream starting in your feet and rising up until it grabs you by the throat.
Everywhere the frogs were boiling.
But appearances are deceiving. Everywhere, the same routines were being run. People went about their daily activities hardly noticing anything was amiss. You would have thought it was just another rotation of the earth going roundabout.
But this was different. A different kinda heat, a different kinda day. I wondered if anyone else was noticing as the temperature was rising to intolerable levels? Nothing on the TV news about it. Just the usual buffet of sugar-coated donut holes. Hot air 24/7.
