I couldn't breathe..the heat was suffocating. I wanted a drop
of water, there was none to be seen.
My skin was buring, there was no shade in sight. I was dying, slowly.
I walked for miles, desert filled my shoes. I fell to my knees
as night approached. It looked as if
I were praying to God, if there actually were a God. I only want a
cool breeze and just a drop of
liquid to drink.
The sun faded, leaving the night to blanket me. I stared at the
stars as they faded in and out. It
still hurts to breathe. Music fills my ears, as I drift off to
sleep.
I wake to find myself in a dream...or so I thought. Did i
actually pray a prayer that came true? I
rub a dirty hand across my swollen eyes.
He said not to move, and placed a cold rag over my eyes. He
smelled of camel, and some cheap
cologne. I gagged. Dreams don't smell this way...or do they?
Music raged on, as I lay with the rag over my eyes. He held my
head, and let me sip from a ladel.
Again, I gagged. The water tasted....old?
I could hear laughter, screaming, crying. Was I in hell? Heat
from the fire scortched my skin,
until the man carried me to another room. I was a child again...or
was this man big?
A cool breeze moved my hair, and then wound it's way down my
body. he had brought me outside, laid
me on the now cool sand. I started to speak, he held a finger to my
lips. Don't leave me, I
mumbled, as I started to fall asleep...Or come out of a
dream.
I lay, alone, full of sand.
