Darkness came swiftly and the midnight
sky was soon
sprinkled
with silver stars. Danielle had to rub her hands to
ward off the cold. She
wished she had remembered to bring some warm clothes,
but
she had expected to be in sight of some village
long before
now. She glanced at her
watch, shocked to realize
that she had been walking
for over four hours. No wonder her
feet ached! Night masked the land; relief
at her escape began
to
give way to fear. The loneliness
of the desert
night
was very frightening. She shivered as a cold wind
sprang up out of
nowhere. Danielle felt tears blur
her vision. She
had been stupid and
because of that, she could die
here in this vast
wilderness.
Thoughts of snakes and scorpions lurking unseen
on
the ground troubled her. Above her, the moon
shone
coldly, turning the
sands into an endless rippling sea. |
