Forest Dweller

You turn back and begin the long trek. It turns out to be shorter than you hoped, and soon you are back at the tomb. You begin walking towards it, but find that your efforts are in vain. ...You look down, and find that your legs are stuck in quicksand. You don't struggle, instead you lie on your back and try and swim to the side. Slowly sand goes over your head until you are thrashing for air, your arms pushing against the hot sand as you go deeper and deeper... soon you can't take it anymore and attempt a breath of air, only to find sand filling your throat. The hot texture burns, and you cough. This opens up more sand, and before long, the sand begins to pull you apart from the inside- little by little, your blood turning to sand as you become another victim of this place... you have drowned in the many fools who attempted to reach the sacred tomb of the desert.
