DEAD
As everything came to a halt, I forced open the door. Looking around I saw nothing but desert and mesas. Yelling into the distance I was answered by not even an echo. All around me is a beautiful blend of blue and purple and red-orange unlike anything I've come across yet, but hinted at a few hours earlier near sunset as I watched the full moon rise over ancient ruined cities. What had just happened could have, and probably should have killed me. In this unfamiliar, yet hauntingly beautiful land I laid down some tobacco and looked to the sky. The moon hovered almost directly overhead, but was starting to set, directing me towards my ultimate destination. Ningaabi'anong. Whether I was walking in the direction of civilization and eventually my uncle's house, or to where the other spirits dwell I wasn't sure.
