The orangey glow form under your eye lids blinded you alone. You lifted a hand up to shield your eyes from the brilliant sun. You squinted now, trying to get a look around. But it was too bright. You closed your eyes again, trying to think of where you might be or... anything. But nothing came. All you remember is waking up. Here. Under the horrid, blinding sun. Your eyes hurt. Not just from the sun, but from the throbbing headache you had. Whatever happened before this, it was definitely something. Either I had a little too much to drink and is now dealing with the handover or i must have hit my head, explaining the loss of memory.

you opened your eyes again, now able to squint. But what you saw was nothing what you expected, not in the slightest. But that was just it. Nothing. You saw nothing. The only thing you could see was the ground and the sky. You looked down to see miles of pale, soft sand, looked to be untouched. Like i have been her for a hot second because there were no foot prints or tire marks of how i could have got here. The the bright blue sky with not one blemish in sight was enough to tell you that you were in the middle of a desert. No clouds, no rain, this also meant, no source of water.

you were sitting up now, confused and dazed. You looked around you trying to figure something out. You had so many questions it made your head hurt so much worse now. But that’s when you realized there was patches of dried blood al around you. And on you. Mostly on your baggy, half ripped shirt, you know for sure wasn’t yours. You also wore a pair of shorts. They were tight and really short. Definitely something I would never wear. More questions caved in. Where was the blood form? Is it my blood? You took a breath. You were terrified but you also knew the more you freaked out the faster you would go crazy out here. But instead of sitting here, accomplishing nothing, might as well try to survive. Where ever you are.

you stand up, and look around again, trying to find the best possible way to find something. You look deep into the horizon, it was blurry with heat waves but you could just barely make out some sort of structure. You couldn’t tell what it was, but knowing there was no where else to walk, this was your best bet.

the sun was not only bright, but incredibly hot. You felt like you couldn’t breathe and all the had evaporated all the water from you. Your mouth was dry, in desperate need of water. As you slowly trudged you way through the thick sand, it got harder ever second to walk. It felt as if you had a thousand pounds on your shoulders. Like you could collapse right here and sleep for a hundred years. As you squinted into the horizon again, it was if the structure hadn’t moved. It was still miles away. You sighed. You even contemplated just staying here, waiting it out until the night. Until is cold and when you have more energy. But your legs didn’t stop taking your forward and so did your curiosity and your determination.

after what felt like hours, you could tell the sun would soon dip below the horizon leaving you in the middle of a pitch black desert, with god knows what else out here. But luckily, the structure was definitely getting closer. Maybe another hour. But of course this had to be the longest hour in the world. As the sun got closer to the horizon, you finally reached the structure. You could tell now that it was an old house. Most of the house still stood and widow, and door frames seemed in tact. You slowly made your way into the house. The paint was in bad condition and the cement was badly cracked. Sand filled all of the ground along with piles of dust. It was one big room with another off to the Side, but it was blocked with sand. There was no furniture. Just the structure of the house. As you made your way completely around the house, there was nothing else to be seen. Some might say this was an unsuccessful trip, but something about this house seemed oddly familiar.
