As I opened my eyes, one thought consumed me: water.

I needed water.

An unbearable, devouring thirst overwhelmed me like a rabid beast, pushing me to the edge of madness.

I felt the burning in my throat, a dull pain spreading through my whole body, and I knew that if I didn't find water, I wouldn't last long.

I turned my head in all directions, my mind foggy, desperately searching for a solution.

Then, on the horizon, I saw it.

A river, glistening under the sunlight, not far away.
