Check your ground.. and also all the wires going to your starter.. Likely one is corroded or come off. Clean them all and use a continuity tester to make sure they are all good.

Also, if its shoritng enough to make heat, your battery will die real quickly, in fact it might get totally fried. Either way, while checking all the wiring as per above, disconnect the battery, and charge it.
Random thought - if a cell in the battery itself shorted it could do this. Got another battery to try?
