Novel: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road. I was just walking along, crossing one street, and then crossing another. I didn't even think I was heading anywhere in particular. I was just walking around.
Device: Simile
Output by A.I.

The narrator states that it was “terrifically cold” and that he felt like he was “disappearing every time he crossed a road.” This comparison of coldness to invisibility serves to illustrate how extreme the temperature was to the narrator.
