For She...Explores the Sunset Desert

For She...Explores the Sunset Desert

There are no people. There are no buildings. She is far from civilization...if there are any left. In the lonely desert she is alone, no miraculous oasis or fanciful mirages.

Her patterned jacket flutters in the desert breeze, her footsteps leaving shadowed marks in the sand. Endlessly, the desert expands toward the northern sun, which continues to shine half-heartedly. She follows, but expects no sort of reward, just the journey itself.

She breathes a deep sigh.

"I should be able to find the lost ruins soon." She could sense it. Strange disturbances in the air that shifted toward the end of the desert.

She questioned if anything truly was at the edge of the horizon. Perhaps.

"Perhaps."

She breathes a deep sigh.
