“Um...Okay. Hi Sandy, so, are you going to suck up my soul or...what?” I shuddered
“What? No, of course not! I don’t suck up souls. But when I find them, I bury them, not suck
them up!” the desert spirit said with a hearty laugh.
The desert spirit seemed like a nice creature to me but I still have to convince everyone that
the desert spirit is harmless. I also had to find out who caused humans and animals to die in the
Gobi Desert. So, I decided to do some research and it looked like the weather in the Gobi Desert
is the only thing that could harm living things. I still wasn’t convinced, so I planned to do some
traps around the desert.
I woke up really early in the morning to check my traps. I found a snow leopards, musk oxes,
gobi bears, ibexes, wild horses and gray wolves. The guides looked surprised when they saw me
up so early.
My guides blinked at the animals.
“Um…. Do you think that those animals are the murderer to those living things?” asked the guides.
“What? No!” I said. “ The murderer to those living things must suck up the soul and not fight
it till it dies. It definitely isn’t those animals.”
As we enjoyed our breakfast, I started thinking living in the Gobi Desert wouldn’t be a
problem for me.
After we finished our breakfast, we set off to find Sandy. We knew Sandy would probably be in a
cave or sleeping behind a giant sand dune or ending up in some weird place, so we better get started.
We walked further and further, and further and further. The icy wind defeated the scorching
sun as we walked. We would never find Sandy. It was almost dusk when finally, one of the guides
announced we’ll stop on the huge sand dune for a rest. And now, I’m exhausted in my sleeping
bag slowly falling asleep…..
In the morning, I found Sandy (the desert spirit) in my traps. I knew Sandy just wanted to
visit me. I guess I shouldn’t have set those traps. We had a funeral for him, he needed a large
grave so we had to dig.
Now, I live in the Gobi Desert feeding on wild animals using my traps, my guides are here too
and I live in Sandy’s body( the desert spirit).
Nobody had found out who killed living things in the Gobi Desert but that didn’t matter.
Not anymore!
