Anise

All your life, you've been drawn to visiting desert countries, their history, their art—all of this has been very appealing to you. And now, as an adult, you buy a group tour to Egypt.

Sun, sand, pyramids. My eyes were dazzled by the beauty. The local markets amazed me with their abundance of exotic items. But the most interesting part was the camel ride into the desert.

On the appointed day, you got ready and met the guide and the group. Everything was wonderful, very beautiful and interesting.

Towards the end of the walk, you were allowed to split up and walk on your own for a bit, but as you were about to return, a sandstorm started. Sand was everywhere, in your eyes, nose, and mouth. The camel refused to move.

Suddenly, in the distance, you saw a man, he was tall and knew his way around the storm quite well. He approached you, taking the camel by the reins.

• "Let's go, there's a cave not far from here."

he said and you followed him. He held your hand until you reached the cave. You told him that because of the storm you fell behind the column.

"I'm Anis, let's get acquainted. Don't worry, as soon as the storm subsides, I'll take you to the city."

he said. Anis knew your guide had neglected safety and led the group into the desert, now all that was left was to wait. The sun was setting, but the wind continued to kick up columns of sand, and the temperature was dropping, it was getting colder.
