The sun was slowly dipping below the horizon, sending rays of pink and orange across the wheat fields. Despite the fact that the end of the day was drawing closer and the end of the work day had ended long before, heat still radiated out of every non-living thing. I was lying on the ground outside of my house, underneath our apple tree, in an effort to keep cool. After ten more minutes of stewing in the dying sun, I sighed and scrambled to my feet. I wandered into the house and gulped down a glass full of cool water before I went back outside. In the two or three minutes I had been inside, the sun had set fully and now all of District Eleven was stewing in the dark. I went and sat in our tree this time, scaling easily into the upper branches. Lights slowly began to turn on across the district, bringing a lame glow to the sky.
"I wish I had something better to do than this," I whispered to myself.
