The flight to America is uneventful. She reads, she eats, she watches the in-flight entertainment. It is a new film, not one she recognises, but it is intriguing enough. Her eyes drift shut half-through; she sleeps.

She sleeps, she dreams. Such is the way of things.

She dreams of the desert, of a dust-ridden horizon, and a piercing sun. it is not a landscape she has encountered too often, but in the dream it is a second-skin, and she is scouring the earth for water. Her hands sink into the soil; it is dry.

She wakes thirsty, sore and raw.
