Weary wanderers become wary at sounds of hiss and rattle, cautiously navigating the dusty invisible path that leads to madness— or the well of enlightenment.
Unaware that the path of madness easily misleads toward trails of temptation and torment.
Most creatures in the dry lands bite or sting, most plants poke and grab.
Unprepared outsiders moan and groan suffering from blisters, sunburn and suicide itch. Unrelenting thirst and hunger for answers unsatisfied.
Unaware that they are asking the unanswerable and seeking the unknowable in a land that offers only challenges, pain and death.
