Sasha stood in the middle of the desert with blood-stained hands. The sand stretched for miles like the ocean, and only the soft howl of wind could be heard. He wondered if the desert heard his shrieks and
wounded outcries. The remnants of the helicopter were nowhere to be seen. Sasha wondered how he could

The sun was piercing right through Sasha's bruises and cuts. Grains of sand were competing to stick to
his naked wounds. Waves of sand rearranged themselves. Finally, Sasha saw a big black metallic rod near
the horizon. He knew which direction he was supposed to walk, but he did not know if he would make it
that far.
