The air hung thick and still, a heavy blanket promising no relief. Even before dawn, the thermometer on the old shed nudged past seventy degrees. Sarah squinted at the sky, a hazy, washed-out blue. It felt wrong, this early morning warmth. It felt like a preview of a day that would linger long after sunset.

Across town, old Mr. Henderson, who usually tended his prize-winning roses with the morning dew, was already inside, curtains drawn tight. He remembered the heatwaves of his youth, the kind that made the asphalt shimmer. But this… this felt different. A premonition, a tremor in the very atmosphere.

The meteorologists, usually a comforting presence on the evening news, spoke with a new urgency. Their maps, usually a tapestry of blues and greens, were awash in alarming shades of orange and red. They talked of pressure systems settling in like stubborn guests, refusing to budge. The word 'unprecedented' kept surfacing, a chilling refrain that echoed in the hushed conversations of the news anchors.

Sarah’s phone buzzed with a text from her sister: 'Stay hydrated! And is your AC working okay? They're saying it's gonna be brutal.' Brutal. It seemed an inadequate word for the oppressive, soul-sapping heat that was descending. The kind of heat that made even the birds fall silent. The kind of heat that made you question everything you thought you knew about the seasons.

The whispers turned to worried murmurs as the days bled into one another, each hotter than the last. The local park, usually a hive of activity, was deserted save for a few brave souls seeking shade under the sparse trees. The river, normally a cool, inviting ribbon, looked sluggish and tired. There were warnings about vulnerable populations, about the elderly and the very young. The unspoken fear was that this wasn't just a weather event; it was a seismic shift, a new reality. And as the sun beat down with unrelenting fury, a quiet dread settled in, the feeling that they were teetering on the edge of something truly, terrifyingly new.
