The Desert

As I approached the immense desert, the sand dunes dwarfed me. I felt like a little kid lost in a mall.The mighty heat cooked my body like a roast turkey for Thanksgiving. The green cactus stood strong and steady like a statue. The cactus spikes seemed as sharp as butcher’s knives. A slithering snake passed around me with no fear which made me shiver. The sun had seemed to boil my eyes and diminished my range. The gusts of sandy wind blew my mind away.

I heard myself groaning from dragging through the hot desert, as if I was a sloth. I drank water from the oasis. It tasted better than eating at a huge buffet, from all the walking. I heard my pet lizard whisper from my shoulder. It told me to find a shelter because the desert will become very dark. I made my way into a cave I found for shelter.

I gazed at the stars. There were billions of them. They seemed as bright as firework. I went into the cave to get some sleep.
