Natural Disaster challenge: Drought
All the world is blue and white: blue seas, blue skies, white, white sun burning silver clouds that give no shade. Truth is pitiless, thinks Amandil.
They have been abandoned – utterly.
His crew is dying – he feels it everyday. Thirst! Hunger hurts less. This salt-sea plain, water to the eye only, horrifies.
Faith had watered will strong enough to die for his people; today, his thirst surrenders:
Send the storm, Herunúmen – let us drink, and drown!
