The scorching heat spread through the Desert landscape as Man struggled to survive. Caught in the middle of the Desert he didn't know what he was doing here. He looked around to see only to find the Desert adorned with shrubs, cacti and its natural habitats who scurried to escape from the harsh heat of the Sun. His black robe and headgear did not help in surviving the heat as it penetrated to his skin burning him. His throat was parched and his lips were dry. The Sun watched over him unapologetically as his energy was sapped away. His feet sinking into the sand made it difficult for him to walk and his body slowly started giving way. All he wanted was water to survive. His mind fought with his body and the internal conflict made it even more difficult for Man to live. As he made his way into the Desert he notice a pool of water from a distance. Covering his eyes from the light he could see the oasis clearly, he knew he would survive now, but only if he reaches his target. And there was hope existing, he was hopeful that this ordeal will end soon.
Man was excited with each passing minute that he would survive as he walked towards the oasis. His excitement built up as he thought about what water would taste like once he drinks it and that what relief would feel like. He was desperate and he needed it at any cost. Although his Body had turned weak his Mind gave him strength to force his way. The Sun followed him from the sky wherever he went, discouraging him and forcing him to stop. But Man did not listen and followed his Mind. As he drew closer to the oasis he noticed something was wrong. The truth behold in front of his eyes. His mind grew with fear and his heart sank down only to see that there was no oasis. It was all a lie. He stood there devastated. He walked for miles only to find out that this was the end. Sun jeered at Man for not listening to him and threw pangs of heat at Man only to boast of his great intelligence. Man sat on his knees not giving up on his quest to find water, his only hope for survival. He brushed the sand away digging deeper and deeper but his energy was wasted. He sat there feeling tired, his Mind had also given up hope just as his Body had. His body dehydrating every second as he looked around the Desert for a Miracle. Yes, now only a Miracle could save his life.
The Desert was as barren as it could be with no sign of a Miracle. Helplessly looking at Man and witnessing his struggle for existence, the silent witness could not do anything and was ashamed at how unfortunate he was in not being able to help Man. Man was helpless himself, his inner conflict of Body and Mind did not help him in anyway to survive. As he sat there staring into oblivion his Body and Mind gave up. These were the last few moments of his survival and he had lost all hope, when at a distance he noticed a figure. His hope awoke looking at the figure. Man begged his Mind and Body to stay alert for a little while longer. Mind agreed but Body refused. Body had been tortured and humiliated by the Sun. He couldn't go any further. The inner conflict began again. Man struggled to concentrate on the figure coming towards him. He wanted to shout and wave his hands but Body wouldn't allow that. Man and Mind tried to explain to him the gravity of the situation when finally Body agreed for just one last time.
The figure was walking towards Man and Man was hopeful to grab his attention before Mind and Body both shut off. He struggled to get up and stand on his feet and pushed his arms in the air to wave at the Miracle coming towards him. It had been only a few moments when Body said, "Enough I cannot do this anymore." and Man fell on the sand. His Mind shut off and his Body relaxed on the blanket of sand. A strange silence surrounded the Desert when suddenly a sand storm began. The Sun feared as the clouds came towards him to cover the sky, shrubs braved their way as the wind tried to uproot them and scorpions and desert lizards and snakes hid in their homes. All fearing the army of clouds that had suddenly covered the sky.
Man lied there on the sand as the wind blew covering him as if it was protecting him. It felt sorry for Man and apologised for not being there for him when he needed it the most. But Man did not respond, his Mind was lost in darkness. The Desert continued to live his life as usual after having witnessed another Man failing to survive.
