The exercise:

Today's prompt: how hot is it?

Not to ruin the whole thing or anything, but if you're in Vancouver the answer is: too hot.

"Do you know how hot it is?" Richard asked his best friend Erik as they struggled along the uncomfortably crowded sidewalk.

"I think I have a pretty good idea," Erik replied.

"My lips are sweating. That's how hot it is."

"That... is both gross and impossible," came the weary response.

"Oh yeah? Come here and I'll give you a kiss," Richard said with an all-too-serious expression for Erik's liking. "Then we'll see what's possible and what's not."

"I take it back," Erik said with a sigh. "It is you that is both gross and impossible. And stay the hell away from me."
