Red Hot
Laurie Anderson
My sister and I used to play this game called Red Hot.
And in Red Hot, the ceiling is suddenly about a thousand degrees.
And there’s no gravity.
Gravity doesn’t exist anymore.
And you’re trying not to float up to the ceiling so you have to hold on to things.
You have to hold on to sheets, pillows, chairs, _anything_ so that you won’t go floating up to that ceiling.
I guess it’s not what anyone would call a very _competitive_ game.
You know what I mean?
Mainly, we just sweated a lot and we were really glad when it was all over and the ceiling cooled back down again.
