With vengeance, the night darkened quickly.
Humans collapsed to the ground, exhausted, to sleep.
Sleep was kept at bay by the wailing of scared dogs.
The moon and clouds happily played hide and seek, creating the perfect atmosphere for anguished ghosts to roam the cemetery with joyous abandon.
The night, like the day, offered no reprieve to the harassed humanity.

Scorching Sun
Caravan walks quietly
in the desert land
Camels in tandem

Sunstroke. Camel collapses.
Dies.

People gather for dinner
Meat served on a huge plate.

Beast of burden had become
a feast of joy!

There was no mourning for the
dead.
