The Desert



It’s a desert. Red-brown and sandy, with winding trails. Jornada del muerto, a local sign told me. Journey of the dead man.

She’s out there, somewhere. I can feel it.

I’m going to tear myself from my side-mirror in a moment. I’ve gotten so filthy over the last few days. I watched it all grow, but I couldn’t take the time to wash.

If I stare long enough, I can almost see her, standing behind my reflection.
