“Remember” by Sofija Ribaric

Submitted to Contest #274

It was a warm afternoon in October just before Halloween. Of course, at the time, the townspeople didn’t call it that way, but they were very fearful of the witches gathering, the fire they were burning, and the languages the witches were speaking. They couldn’t understand nor even imagine what the topic could be about, but nevertheless, the fear was very present in this town, tucked away between the steep mountains.

11/11/2018It's been three days since I got lost in this forsaken desert, because I took a wrong turn trying to reach the ocean, so I could go to the island from the legends, which was supposed to hide the great gem of Thoth. My camel got scared away because of a snake, threw me off its back and so I am stuck here.I don't even know why I started this journey to begin with, the only thing I know is that I was looking for shelter, a place where I would stop feeling as lost and wounded as I feel now. Meanwhile, I also hurt my foot on a cac...
