Heat

In these dry spells I really struggle.  When I'm standing in the middle of the desert with no sense of direction and a burning need to find water.  I'm surrounded by the radiating sand and dying plants.  I have no resources to pull from.  I could be stuck here for day or weeks or months.  You will never know until all of a sudden I am no longer surrounded by rising heat but instead have been dropped into a lake.  Deep with hidden mysteries and treasures that are rich for me to find.  But for now I have to stand in this heat, in the middle of nowhere, with no one to help me.  And this was my reality and I had to live it.
