STARTING MESSAGE

Micky loved it in LA, that was entirely his scene, but the summers could be brutal. He was used to the heat, having lived in California his whole life, but that didn't make it any less unbearable.

Being the perpetually broke musicians they were, the air conditioner of the pad was busted. It had broken literally weeks before summer officially started, and even by that point it had been uncomfortably warm out. The humidity was the worst thing, amplifying the already oppressive heat. One would think that living by the beach might make it cooler, and while that the case outside, the pad just seemed to trap heat inside without working AC.

Micky had been tossing and turning for who knows how long. Unlike the rest of the guys, he'd been able to conk out pretty quickly that night, the Olympic sleeper he was. After a few hours, though, he'd woken up in a pool of sweat; having laid in the same spot for so long, his bed felt suffocating. He just couldn't get back to sleep like that, no matter how hard he tried.

He imagined his bandmates didn't want to keep hearing him flopping around on his bed in an effort to find a comfortable position, so he got up. He wasn't going to fall back asleep like this, anyway. He slipped out of bed with a yawn, wiping his eyes with his sleeve and making for the stairs. He figured that if he stayed up for a while, really tuckered himself out, he would have to be able to fall asleep. With that logic, he sat down at the kitchen table for a bit, though he wasn't sure what he'd actually be able to focus on—too exhausted to think, but too warm to actually get back to bed.
