Sandstorms

Four days into the desert…

Perhaps i should have asked for food… Well, too late for that… Birch thought as wandered his way deeper in the desert.

In what seemed like hours, but in truth was merely minutes, Birch found himself in a nasty dust storm.

"Exklotl!" He muttered to himself. He was taking in to much dust. His eyes burned. He began to suffocate, lungs clogged with dust. He stumbled, and fell.

Unconscious, he did not see the creature when it found, and saved him.
