Sissy

Intro Sissy shuffled her feet through the fine grains of sand that lined the side of the dusty road. The desert sun bore down on her, relentless and unforgiving. Her once white blouse was clinging to her body with the sweat of desperation. Her eyes squinted against the glare, searching for any sign of civilization. The heat shimmered on the horizon, playing tricks with her mind, conjuring mirages of oases that vanished as quickly as they appeared.
