The ship didn’t sink—it shattered. Midnight tide, no warning. Just a groan, a snap, and steel folding like paper. He hit the water hard, lungs full of salt and stars. When he crawled ashore, the land didn’t greet him. It just stared back—bare, silent, and wide.
He staggered inland, chasing help that didn’t exist. The desert swallowed sound. No lights. No voices. Just wind and the crunch of his own boots. Hours passed. His legs gave out near a jagged outcrop, and he collapsed into the stone like it owed him something.
Sleep took him.
Morning didn’t bring relief. It brought panic. He woke to a horizon that didn’t end—just rolled on in beige silence. No signs. No rescue. Just him and the truth: no one was coming.
His heart kicked like a mule. Then slowed. Then settled.
Stillness wrapped around him—not as a threat, but as a balm. He breathed deep. Felt the heat. Noticed the way the rocks held shade. How the wind whispered through the cracks. How the smallest things—the grit, the grain, the flicker of a lizard’s tail—held meaning.
He stopped waiting. Started working. With what was on hand. With what was around. He shaped shade from stone. He found sustenance between dust and sun. Ate slow. Moved slower. And in that rhythm, he thrived.
The desert didn’t break him. It built him.
