Summer Night Writing


My drink is sweating all over the bills stacked on my desk. The windows are open, but the breeze filtering through the screen is warm. I don’t turn the air conditioner on; I rely on the ice cubes in my glass to cool me down.

If I pause for more than a brief moment, I get stuck to the typewriter keys; it’s enough to keep the story flowing from my fingertips.
