Holiday

Water. My throat ached for it, my mind gasped it's name... Water... I felt every breath like a stampede of pain, wild elk pulling in shaky gulps of air... Water... I could feel my body breaking down, my brain turning itself inside out. Madness was the only nourishment I would receive in this hot, barren purgatory... Water... The only thing I knew for certain: this was one hell of a holiday.
