The summers are always so stifling here. As a water elemental it gets harder and harder to use any of my powers to do anything. Usually it just turns into water vapor.

Today, apparently, is no exception. Because I see someone carrying a large stack of boxes in their arms and stumbling down the sidewalk. They looked like they were sweating, so I was going to make a tiny sprinkle to calm them down. All that came out was one droplet followed by some steam.

“Oh. Uh… Hi,” I say sheepishly.
