I sit up, my arms wrapped around my aching legs, my chin resting on my knees. I look out over the red, flat land before me. A heat-haze horizon blurring the sand and scrub up into the sky.
Then I twist my head and look behind me.
The same.
A vast expanse of nothingness. No buildings. No cars. No trucks. No bridges. No electricity pylons. No power stations. No railway tracks. No roads. No people. No lost shoe.
Nothing.
Just emptiness.
Everywhere.
The wind begins to blow dust off the ground and I hug my legs closer and shut my eyes.
Through the pounding of my head I try and think as hard as I can.
Think. I need to think.
There are three questions…
Three questions in my mind that I want to know the answers to right now.
From: The Song Walker by Zillah Bethell © 2023. Licensed under CLA. Do not copy or share.
The first questions is – obviously – Where am I?
I feel as if this place is not the place to which I belong. It is too hot and too empty to be somewhere I belong. The one shoe on my foot does not look right for a place like this. The black dress I am wearing feels too soft for a place like this. Which leads my mind to the second question…
What am I doing here?
There must be some reason for me to be here. Some reason why I have found myself walking around – one shoe lost – in the middle of…well…nowhere.
But it is the third question that worries me the most. Or at least it is my inability to answer the third question that worries me.
I close my eyes even tighter and try to block out the landscape. I try to block out my headache. I block out my hunger and my thirst and I try to concentrate.
Okay, I think.
So…
Who am I?
From: The Song Walker by Zillah Bethell © 2023. Licensed under CLA. Do not copy or share.
I think time has passed again. Night smothers me.
Sounds…a flap of leathery wings, chit-chattering creatures, distant howls, snufflings close by.
Squeeze my ears and eyes tight after one peep at the cold frieze of stars and violent moonlight.
Breathing in and out, heart beating still…dozing in and out of dreams. I am gliding…soaring…screaming…
falling…
Then…
…the sun explodes, forcing my eyes wide to the same picture.
Endless red dust before and after.
Whimpering, sobbing.
Is that my voice? Is that me?
Don’t leave me out here to die.
Somebody…save me…

The words ‘look out over’ and ‘flat’ suggest that the character can see far into the distance. This implies that the environment is large, wide and open. The word ‘red’ suggests that, instead of seeing greenery from plants or trees, she can only see sand or rock. This makes the landscape seem barren and lifeless.
