The heat dome hung heavy over the town. Corn sweated its maizey vapor, adding measurably to the humidity. Invasive lantern flies hovered in non-native trees searching for nearby figs and grapes to feast upon. Cicadas looked for a mate, then dropped from the sky to splat on the sidewalk, green eyes turning opaque. Impatient drivers in red hats revved their truck engines and spewed exhaust, gun racks in back rattling.

Interesting story, Sherri. Enjoyed it. Sometimes it is better to leave than to stay.
