Mirage

This week, I was learning about mirages. Did you know that Mirages can be photographed? Ok enough with the facts. I wrote a short story about Mirages. I learnt that Mirages can be photographed. What I found challanging was understanding how light refracts. It's complicated. Enough with the Chit Chatt, lets get into detailed story stuff.

I dropped into the dust of gold.  As I picked myself up, my arms wobbled. I staggered across the desert, lost and alone. “I won’t make it.” I croaked to the sky. As I laid down hopelessly, I saw a shimmer of reply in the distance. I reached out to the sand. Digging my fingers into the heat. I dragged myself to the shimmer. As I crawled closer. The sand revealed an oasis with palm trees guarding the lake. I jumped on my feet forgetting about the heat. As I reached for the oasis, it disappeared in thin air. I again collapse, I heard voices of men. I closed my eyes. And hope.
