A baby, you could easily survive in the middle of the desert if there is water under the surface.

I could eat it, and as I try to eat it, it is a bit like vapour yet it was real. I could feel it.
It’s a sign of water...
Minor Detour
“#%+*$&..”
The long legged creature upon her shoulder continuously produced chittering sounds, dispersing certain spaces between with signals of clicks. Her attention was fully absorbed in those clicks, for they directed her through the endless stream of the desert.

Worth It All
It never really stops hurting does it
It’s especially hard when you have to keep fighting
When you want to be done with it all
But you have to keep fighting
It’s exhausting

That feeling of fear and emptiness
It haunts you

The Friend
With unruly ginger hair, clothes that were so big they dragged along the ground whenever she walked, and never wearing shoes, she not only appeared, but was, slightly off her rocker.
This made it no surprise when nobody near the desert camping site came to help her after she claimed she found a baby seal. In fact, it seemed there was no one even in the dessert with her. So she sat near the baby ...
WTF is that
"What the fuck is that?" Cal's voice was hoarse and dry, in desperate need of water...just like the rest of us.
"That's a baby seal," Aria replied. She inched forward, shoes cutting through the soft sand, hands poised upward in defense. However, the baby seal didn't seem to pose a threat. It didn't seem to see the desert as a threat as we did. It blinked its eyelashes at the three of us, then rub...
Crossing a Continent
For days he trekked through the endless snow. His frostbitten toes holding on for dear life within his worn boots.
All hope was lost. He always knew Antarctica could be a hellish place, but he told himself it was worth it.
The first man to walk the length of the Antarctica continent. What a feat that would be.
But halfway all he wanted to do was give up. He barely remembered life before the sn...
Part 6. Sammy
Oh no, Charlotte thought. Not the desert again. I hate this dream.
But she couldn’t wake herself up so she’d have to endure it.
A few yards in front of her feet—she was still lying down as if in bed, with the covers and pillow in the sand instead of a mattress—a movement in the sand.
A head popped out, then a body. It was gray and had “Clearview High” stitched on the side of it. The body wri...
