Mark in the Sand. Content Warning.
The beach had always been Mark's favourite place to unwind and relax. Even when not travelling to a far-flung part of our green planet, he would take time out to drive to the coast and feel the sand between his toes. That soft, but grainy sensation gave him the most delightful dopamine hit and as he stepped closer to the water, and felt the soft, dry sand become moist, he enjoyed the feeling of his feet becoming encased in it, only for the water to splash some of it away.

Last Will and Testimony. Content Warning.
I was thirsty. No. Parched. I forget how long ago it was since the last drip of water passed my chapped lips. My mouth was as dry and unhospitable as the white grainy landscape that stretched out around me. In the past, I would have stared at an image of these very surroundings and complained that I couldn't spend time there. Now, without so much as a puddle or anyone else in clear sight, and the baking sun with its rays scorching my dry and flaking skin, I retract that former statement. If I live to tell this very depressing tale of wasting away beneath hottest sunshine I've ever witnessed, in the least habitable place for a human in such conditions, I will make sure all know that my holidays will be in cooler climates like Scotland and Seattle.
