There was sand everywhere, on my teeth, in my ass, in my nose, in my lungs and in my stomach. We had been walking for several days and the exposed parts of my body were burned by the merciless light of the suns. Covered with a crust that parts itched incredibly. Fatigue alternated with bouts of anger, which quickly turned into hysteria.

"I'm not going any further," I whined, sitting on top of a dune.

"Just don't start again. We need to get to the stash before it gets dark, otherwise I won't find it."

"If you die, it will only be a joy to me."

"Don't anger me, you snot," May-e-oka shouted and pulled the rope tied to my neck.

I pulled back, but the girl resisted and pulled again, so I rolled down the dune.

Having untangled me, the girl gave me a slap in the face and pulled after her. But I lay down behind the sand, and she had to drag me. The head slid along the stabbing grains of sand, wanting to break away from the body again. There was nothing to breathe.

"If necessary, I'll drag you all the way to the mountains," May-e-oka hissed.

"Di... e...." I groaned in response and again felt that I was losing consciousness.

I woke up when it was already cool around and a warm breeze tickled my nose, which made me immediately sneeze

I woke up when it was already cool around and a warm breeze tickled my nose, which made me immediately sneeze.

"Hey," I called.

But there was no answer.

I got up, my hands were aching behind my back from burns and a strong knot. Struggling to my feet, I tried to go, but the rope around my neck tightened. Looks like I'd been tied to something.

Pulling the rope even tighter, I determined the direction and went there. Quickly enough, I bumped into something stone and began to rub my body against it to understand the shape. It turned out to be a wide stone pillar. The rope was tied to it at a level just above my head.

After going around the pillar, I twisted the rope so that it became possible to rub it against the pillar, and began to squat often. Fortunately, it began to cling to a ledge invisible to me.
