It was the biggest expanse of nothing that I had ever experienced. I was standing in a massive desert that seemingly went on forever. I wasn’t alone though, I had my big bro with me! I probably should have been concerned, being in a giant desert as a child, but it was comforting knowing that I wasn’t alone. My big bro would protect me. “Come on,” he said. A huge field turned into waves of sand that rose as high as mountains creating deep valleys that we struggled not to get stuck in. We walked for what felt like forever until we stumbled upon something in the middle of this sea of sand. A colossal pyramid appeared before us and it was magnificent! We ran over, fast as our little legs would carry us, and started to inspect the pyramid. We ran around it and climbed up and down it, having an amazing time in the process. It was cool and life seemed good. That is until we felt something wrong. Standing at the base of the pyramid we were noticing that it was tipping over, right on top of us. Our looks of awe quickly turned into worry, then pure terror. “Run!” screamed my brother. The both of us turning and started sprinting for our lives. This thing was huge! It was so big that it blocked the sun. We could see the line where the shadow of the pyramid stopped and the safety of the open desert began. We ran and ran and ran trying to escape from the impending doom that was sure to kill us. I see my brother in front of me, thinking to myself “We have to make it! We can make it!”. That’s when I noticed it. The numbness of my legs and the pain in my side from not getting enough air to my lungs. The beating of my heart, I was sure, could be heard from space. My brother looks back at me, my eyes meet his, “We’re almost there!”. He was right. I could see the line that meant safety if we could cross it. I gave it my all and pushed myself! Running on the sand was difficult, but we were going to be OK! Until I fell that is. I hit the sand hard! My foot getting stuck on something in the sand. I looked up for my brother who had stopped when he noticed me fall. “Brother!” I screamed. “Help me!”. We locked eyes again. He looked from me to the desert, back to me, back to the desert. He took off again, dead sprint to get out from under the shadow of the great pyramid. I struggled to get free, but it seemed futile. I wasn’t strong enough to get loose. Finally, I was able to get free, but it had taken a lot of time. The pyramid was almost on top of me. I ran as hard as I could trying to make it. I could see my brother standing just outside the reach of the pyramid. “I can make it!”, I thought to myself. I looked up. I wasn’t going to make it. The pyramid was going to crush me. I looked ahead and called out to my brother once more. The pyramid came down on top of me.
