Michael wipes his sweat - drenched face with an old rag for what feels like the thousandth time this morning . The porch fan is on it highest setting , but it does nothing to relieve the air of its heavy, stickness. The glass of cool lemonade he had poured in the kitchen is dripping condo onto the old, brown wicker table. He rises from the rocking chair as he sees a bright red car pull into the driveway .
What inference can be made about the string ?
The scene takes place in the middle of the night
The scene takes place in the kitchen
There is a storm coming .
There is a heat wave .
