Clutching the brown paper bag in her right arm, Sarah Prescott settled her purse securely on her shoulder, switched the bag to that arm, and dug into her coat pocket for her keys. A gust of wind slammed into her from behind, shoving her forward a step and slipping under her coat, and even her sweater, to send a chill up her spine. She hated fall.

I stood on my four large wheels glancing upon the death that surrounded me. I was covered in my wagon cloth which shielded the sweltering heat off of me. The men lay dead, all in different positions.

Land of the Fallen “Bloody Hell!” Richard shrieked violently, his cry echoing to the ends of the uncharted plains. The pain spread throughout his body as quickly as a flame on a sun-dried field. Icy roars of wind bombarded his body from every direction – debris from lifeless shrub prickled at his eyes, dust scratched at his lungs, and eerie sounds thrashed at his ears. His, what thought to be, loyal horse was now no more than a speck moving along the horizon. The settlement was near, but without…
