Answer:
August Heat is about James, an artist, and Mr. Atkinson a sculptor. On a hot August day, James drew a picture of a man given the “guilty” verdict. He went out and encountered the same man in his picture, Mr. Atkinson, in his house. It turns out that Mr. Atkinson had sculpted a gravestone with James’s name, his date of birth, and today’s date as the day he died. When they saw what each other made, they became afraid, and by the time James had to go home, Mr. Atkinson said that he could die out there, so they agreed that James would stay until midnight that night. What follows is my alternate ending.
