Like a Sip of Coke

by sam-berns

A young desert child is parched. A sheep herder hands him a coke. The boy sips it, swallows, and lets out a sigh of refreshment. A feeling not found oft in the hot sahara sun. The boy roams the desert for years, always thirsty, never again experiencing a sip of coke. One day, he sees a can in the distance. he chases it. yet, it is always out of reach. The boy, now a man, meets a girl. She offers him her body. Once complete, the man lets out a sigh of refreshment. A feeling not found since the sip of coke as a child. The man continues to wander the sandy abyss, never again experiencing the sigh of relief.
