the squeal

The squeal usually does not come in the early morning hours while it is still cool. It may come in the late morning though, as the sun begins to shine bright. It may come at any hour of the afternoon. During the hottest part of the day one can be sure of hearing the loud bothersome sound. It may burst forth in the evening as well. A person can never be quite certain when it will shout the squeal it has been holding back. The squeal has caused people to jump a little and give the double look. They look to see where it came from and soon find out. Once they do they scurry away as fast as they can. This disturbing squeal is actually a sound of relief to the owners of what is producing the squeal. To the owners of the squealing contraption it is a sound for which the aching ears rejoice to hear.

Might the reader be curious as to what the squealer actually is?

Too bad, I am ending the story here.

Just kidding. The crazy squealing object is my Dad's car, a Nissan Sentra. The air conditioner compressor will not stop attempting to quit on us. So, when the car squeals it means that the compressor is kicking back on. At times we go to great lengths to hear that squeal. Once it does let out the giant squeal we sigh with gladness because cold air blows through the vents onto our sweating selves.
