Challenge 220: OVERHEATED

Is it the endless bad weather when you’re trying to travel? The work tasks piling up, no matter how fast you get them done? The suspiciously dragon-shaped cloud on the horizon slowly looming closer and closer to your innocent village? Whatever the cause, stress is often just a part of life, but sometimes it builds up until you can’t ignore it. The source of the stress needs to be dealt with somehow! Maybe you need help getting those tasks done, or a better travel plan to avoid the weather, or a convenient dragon-taming hero to come by. How do your characters deal with stress? Do they crack under the pressure, or are they calm no matter how bad it gets? Do they ask for help? Deal with it all by themselves? Do something drastic to solve the problem? Write a story about heat. BONUS GOAL: “You have got to be kidding me.” If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
