Maybe this man in the suit is reality. The only part of reality that I am percieving. Maybe he is a lifeline to sanity.
Still, something nagged at Bill at the back of his mind. Like a mouse chewing inside the wall, scritch scritch scritch
He hesitated. What was it? He couldnt think in all this heat!
"Sir?" The strange man tapped, more insistently now. "You really must get out of the vehicle."
Bill's skin began to crisp and yet still he hesitated.
"Oh, Jesus, help me, please!" Bill whispered because his throat was arid. No moisture in the air at all. His tongue felt like a thick piece of wood, but he managed to rasp it out.
The man's face changed. It was no longer genteel concern, but hatred and anger. "Get out of that car!" He screamed.
Bill stared in wonder as the man's face transformed from a gentleman to a snarling madman.
The car was melting around him, yet the madman couldnt reach him. Bill felt like if he did, he was doomed.
"Get out of that car!" The searing pain was almost forgotten in his fascination with the change in the man. He still wore the same suit, and seemed unaffected by the heat, but he no longer resembled a concerned citizen.
Suddenly, without even thinking about it, Bill started to sing his Gregorian chant. His tongue thick and wooly, throat screaming in pain,he sang of the Son of God and the blood that was shed. He rejoiced in the saving power of God's grace and the mercy that was shown to man.
The madman screamed a gutteral scream and vanished. Along with the heat, the fire, and smoke.
Cool air rushed in thru restored air conditioner vents. The streets as they were, green and bustling.
Bill gulped in the cool air and checked himself over. No burns, no blisters. Not even the smell of smoke.
Water. He needed a drink of water, badly!
But he was so badly shaken, all he could do was sit there, shaking.
What just happened?
Dolly! He had to get back to Dolly!

(your turn! Whee!)
