A/N: Written for the A Prompt Per Pokemon Challenge, Trapinch prompt A – texture.
A Home in the Desert
The desert was vast, but the trapinch had their niches, the places where the sand felt best beneath their feet.
Some places, it was too soft, unable to hold itself together and falling away under their heavier feet and leaving them stuck in the sand. Other places, it was too hard and it was like walking on burning rock instead of something coarse yet soft. Other places it was almost wet, where the dew from the sparse desert plants sank in to the soul.
But there were places where the texture was perfect, where the trapinch made their home in the desert lands.
