Today's OneWord: Melting

Everywhere, the sun was an overbearing mother holding you in her fiery embrace and not letting you go. Even if the skin started melting off your bones. Even if the ground beneath your feet was set alight by the great star's unyielding love. Even if finally, when the hug was over, you were nothing but a pile of incinerated ashes ready to be swept away by the wheels of Helios's chariot.
