Personal Narrative: Running Out Of Water

146 Words1 Page

One morning at the oases town in walata with the caravan stretching ahead and behind us. Before we ate breakfast we prayed to Allah for the water the oases town gave to us before we set off on our second journey to the town of Taghaza. On this journey we’ll be crossing a waterless desert called the Sahara. Once we set off on our second journey it was as hot as a frying pan. Our soldier started to feel ill so I sat him up on the camel with a wet rag around his head. Around the fifteenth day we started to run out of water so we had to limit the amount we drank. At night it started to cool down so we all ate dinner. Once we finally made it to our destination in the town of taghaza we were fully out of water.
