lost? definitely lost...

She'd been traveling.. how long, exactly? She wasn't sure, but it had definitely been a little while. By now the weight she carried when she was well-fed in a pack had melted away with her little skill in hunting. Scavenging had been her main source in finding food, but even that was getting more and more difficult. And here, in the middle of a desert? Yeah, she wasn't finding anything to eat out here.

Her stomach growled, but she was used to ignoring it by now. It was mind over matter, right? If she told herself she wasn't hungry, it would certainly stop. At least she hoped, anyway. What made matters worse was how dry her mouth was and how she longed for even just a small drink of water. Even rain at this point would be welcomed, but it likely didn't rain very much in a desert. Keres whined, her thoughts making the situation only that much worse as she crossed the dunes. How much farther did she have to go to get out of here?
