Desert's Zenith

WE CAME TO THE DESERT TO FIND PEACE. A REFUGE FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. BUT ONLY UNTIL THE SUN BURNT OUT DID WE REALIZE WE WERE MORE CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD THAN EVER. PEOPLE CALLED US CRAZY BUT WHAT WE SAW IN THE STARS WAS ALREADY BEWILDERING ENOUGH. THEY CAME DOWN TO US AND SHOWED US THINGS WE COULD NEVER IMAGINE. WE FELT EVERYTHING. WE KNEW EVERYONE. EVERYTHING WAS OURS, NOTHING WAS. THE WINDS BLEW MORE AND MORE INTENSE, DUST KICKING UP IN OUR FACE, WIND WHISTLING IN OUR EARS. WE COULD BARELY SEE. THEY BEAMED UP, FADED AWAY INTO A BEIGE HAZE, AND LEFT BELOW STRANGE PATTERNS 50 FEET IN DIAMETER. THEN, AFTER ASTRAL PROJECTING FOR TWO HOURS, WE DECIDED TO RECORD OUR INNER THOUGHTS AND PUT IT ONTO A TANGIBLE MEDIUM TO SHARE WITH OTHERS WHO WOULDN'T BELIEVE OUR EXPERIENCES OTHERWISE. THE FOLLOWING IS A JOURNAL OF OUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE WHITE SANDS OF NEW MEXICO, 2041 AD
