Heat:

This was rare.

It was hot.

Excruciatingly hot.

The sun was high in the sky.

The forest offering little protection.

There was no cool breeze.

The heat was unbearable.

The whole forest was silent, as if leaving him to his own thoughts.

Thoughts that took him back to a different time and place.

Thoughts that left him with nothing but sorrow.

Thoughts of that hot summer day in the Saracen desert when he left his best friend.
