Mostly Heating
You never plan for the worst of times. The real worst of times. You plan for the bad winters, the humid summers. The rainy springs and the windy falls. But not for the end of everything.
I spent a little extra on the windows, to spend less on heating. They are designed to trap the heat inside, the salesman told me, for colder climates, and they’d trap in heat in the summer too. I told him I don’t mind the heat. But I mind it now, the sun impossibly close now, the atmosphere frying me alive in my own home.
