I walked down the dusty road, wavering in the blistering heat, my vision blurred as I made out a ranch and a small house. I slowly staggered to the house, but slowed when I heard horse's hooves on the dirt road. "Excuse me, little lady, but what are you doing in this heat? Especially, in this kind of heat?" I looked up at a man with a strong chin and dark black hair.
"I'm sorry sir, am I on your property?" I asked light headed.
He smiled warmly, "No, its fine. This property is open, can I help you though?" I looked up at his eyes, there was a mixture of soft and warmness in his eyes. I smiled.
"Thank you, umm… can you actually point me in the direction of the nearest city?"
He jumped down from his horse, and took his horses rains and grasped them tightly. He picked me up by my hips and lifted me up on his horse's saddle. My small dress crinkled under my weight. He led his horse down the dirt road and up the small wooden house and I started to waver, he looked at me with compassion in his eyes. My eyes closed for a brief moment and took in a breath of warm air. I opened my eyes again and saw the house drawing closer. I felt an arm on my shoulder and looked at the man.
"Why are you bringing me to your house? You don't even know me." He gave me a sideways glance.
"Why wouldn't I trust you?" I glanced at him. But I never got to asked him, when my vision blurred and I fell backwards and the man caught me. The man looked at me worried, "Andy! Slim! Come out here now!" That was the last thing I heard when I closed my eyes and slipped into unconscious.
