It was hot, incredibly hot. Alan was having a hard time seeing what was in front of him due to the fluctuations in the air. Everything would appear warped, and even the sand below was having strange changes.
Should I turn back? He thought many times, and sometimes he had, but there was a feeling in his gut that he should go a little bit further, and so he did.
Although he did lower his speed, the hot air clashing against him felt irritating, the sun was already enough.
He just hoped this expedition wasn't fruitless...and how ironic that statement would appear to be a few minutes later.
"Hmm?"
Finally, after only seeing golden sand for a while, he saw something else. A singular tree growing inside this endless expanse of sand and dryness.
Although the appearance of a tree was strange, Alan didn't have much knowledge about plants in the desert. The most he knew was of tumbleweed and cacti, which appeared on Earth's deserts. Here? He had no clue.
