Winner #55WordChallenge: Week Seventeen

 Once again, sorry for the delay. There is going to be no contest this week, sorry. We will return next week with new prompts, and hopefully a clearer mind.

Out the window, I could see airplane streaks in the sky as people flew out of the city searching for tropical getaways and quiet retreats. But not me. I would never leave the city. The hustle of city life ran through my veins like water in a faucet. Everything outside the city seemed horrifyingly still.

Overachiever:

 Scorching heat emanates from the pavement. Even the sun seems to pity the land below, unknowing how to handle the heat it brings forth.
To top it all, water begins to run short.
It's summer, an exceptionally hot summer, and all everyone wants is to get away to a sea breeze.
