I ended up in a hot desert. I don't know how I got there. All I remember is that I came home from that dinner last night and dozed off. It was really hot and I was confused. I tore off the sleeves of my long sleeve rock-band T-shirt, I suddenly felt better. I looked around and all I saw was dried up vegetation and far in the distance I see what looked like little ants. I squinted, they were all wiggly because of heat waves. They were heading my way but I couldn't quite see what or who they were.
"Ohhhh, I know what those little ants are! They are a caravan!" I said to my self. They started getting closer, every time they took a step forward I could finally make out about how many there were. There were 4 camels and about 15 people. I ran their way hoping they had water. I finally caught up with them, they looked at me confused, I knew they don't speak my language so I made a gesture of 'do you have any water, because I am really thirsty'. I don't know what they thought I said but they pulled out a knife. "Woah! No, no" I said while backing up. I gave up. Maybe they were headed to a city that had water, so I just followed them, to see where they will end up. I noticed that the wind started picking up, because sand kept getting in my eyes. I heard a scream and tried looking through my teary eyes to see what happened. Everyone started running for their lives, because of what looked like a sandstorm.
Yep, I was right. it was a sandstorm. I started running after someone so I can hide with them or something. There was sand flying everywhere, big clouds of sand was whipping my face, which stung really bad. There was a tall sand dune we were running to. The man dove into the dune, trying to protect himself, so I dove too. We waited there for a long time, the wind kept getting wilder and wilder. I have no clue where anyone went. I closed my eyes for the whole time. Waiting for the storm to be over.
I felt no sand hitting my body, I thought that was a sign to come out of my uncomfortable position. I stood upright letting my back stretch out. I looked around, I didn't see any people, but I just saw all their food supplies scattered all over. The man that was in the dune with me got up to go look for his people. I followed him, and we walked down the hill. People were looming out of their hiding places looking for anyone alive. I decided to help them out with picking all their stuff up, so I wandered around looking for items. Then I saw my aunt just standing out in the distance, I frowned, "What the heck is going on here?!" I said aloud. I have no idea why she would be here, so I just ran to her to give her a hug but right when I almost put my arms around her she vanished.
"What just happened?" I thought. Then a huge camel, the one from the caravan came running to me out of no where. I thought it was running back to his people but it was actually running straight at me. It knocked me down. I awoke instantly. I was back at my cottage, in my bed, panting. I looked around confused and noticed it was just a dream. "Wow that was a strange dream, I must of read too much of my History Alive book I brought from home." I said aloud while giggling. I decided to go back to sleep with the thought of how weird this whole day was.
I like how you made hand gestures since you couldn't speak their language.
