Super dryer

Second realization: | wasn’t wet. | mean, | could feel the coolness of the water. | could see where the fire on my clothes had been quenched. But when | touched my own Shirt, it felt perfectly dry.
| looked at the garbage floating by and snatched an old cigarette lighter.
No way, | thought.
| flicked the lighter. It sparked. A tiny flame appeared, right there at the bottom of the Mississippi.
| grabbed a soggy hamburger wrapper out of the current and immediately the paper turned dry. | lit it with no problem. As soon as | let it go, the flames sputtered out. The wrapper turned back into a slimy rag. Weird.
