For LJ comm charloft - 100 Drabbles of Summer - 8. Sand
8. Sand
There are days when he thinks if he never sees another grain of sand, it will be too soon.
No matter how careful he is, the stuff gets everywhere. In his hair, his eyes, his boots, even his cot. There's sand where no person ever wants sand.
It even haunts his dreams at times, every potable liquid turned to sand while he's dying of thirst.
Though those bad dreams are better than some of the others, where the sand is churned up and scorched; splattered with blood, and sometimes worse.
He misses the days when sand was just a beach.
