“Last Wishes” by Chip Wiegand

“The Oasis” by Chip Wiegand

The sand was grey, had as much gravel and rocks scattered about as it did grains of sand, and was hot, certainly too hot to walk on barefoot. But then, who would want to do that?

·.¸¸.·♩♪♫ ςĦⒾᵖ ŴιєｇÃᑎđ ♫♪♩·.¸¸.· All my short stories can be found on my website - wiegand.org - please check it out. Unfortunately, we are not permitted to edit/update our stories with newer drafts, so all my stories, in their latest drafts, are available on my website - wiegand.org. I'm an expat from the US living in Colombia, enjoying the year-round spring of the Colombian Andes. I'm also a widower who was doing something I never dreamed of doing - teaching English as a foreign language. I recently retired even from that. Then I started to put pen to paper in my free time and have written - short stories, a novel (completed third draft), almost completed 2nd novel, and some poetry. Please leave comments on my short stories, as I mentioned - I'm new at writing and need all the help I can get. :) My website - https://wiegand.org On my website is a page 'My Writings' which has more short stories I've written. I'm a 100% "follow-backer", are you? Not likely. A follow-back shows respect. Apparently, there are a lot of people with little or no respect for their fellow website users. No matter what excuse a person uses to not follow-back, it all boils down to one point - showing respect for those that showed you the respect to follow you.
