Murderous heat

So here I am typing off on my computer under the outrageous heat and humidity. Sometimes I really wish I could get frozen into an iceberg as to escape from this maddening situation.

I keep getting wicked dreams where people have murderous intentions towards me. Then I wake up in my sweat and still half in wonderland see shadows escaping away into the corners of the room. My heart still pounding in my ears and fear having taken a grip of me I hesitate to set foot afloor, like a child scared of having the boogeyman grab it from underneath the bed. Outside the darkened window I can see a few skyscrapers blinking at the night. Maybe a few cats are out as well. Prowling and doing the usual cat things I guess.
The bedcloth sticks to my body. Having had enough I get out of bed and walk naked to the shower. Flicking on the light brings soaring pain as I stagger backwards covering my eyes.
"Gotta change that light bulb." I tell myself for the thousands time.

The water is cold and refreshing. I wonder what time it is. Usually when I wake up the it's between 2 and 4 a.m. I can feel the heat seeping out of my body. Lovely! If only one could live under the shower... Then again it would be too convenient.
The sound of rushing water sooths all the nightmarish visions from my mind. I cup my hands in front of my face and let the water fill them up before splashing my face with it.
The pipes behind the wall rumble and give out a long prolonged shriek. I cut off the water. "Thats it for tonight" i tell the showerhead. Perhaps if I would compliment it more often it would work better. My mind spins off into thoughts and I conclude that I should try to be more polite in my day to day environment.

The bathroomfloor is cold and my wet feet don't seem satisfied and recommend caution. I step forward to take a look in the mirror. I just have time to see a blurry figure disappear before hitting the ground. Now my whole body is feeling the cold floor. At least nothing will bother me now.
