Oasis of Eden
“She groaned. “Damn bathtub gin,” she murmured and came to her knees. Her gaze lifted to the brilliant night sky packed with so many stars, she couldn’t decipher a single constellation.
Reaching up, she dragged a hand through her hair. “How in the hell did I end up outside?” Along the horizon line, there was nothing but flat desert as far as she could see. A tremor of panic grabbed at her stomach. She stood and whipped around, spotting the torch-lit camp in the distance. Her hand clapped down up...on her chest in relief. On wobbly legs, she vowed to stay away from distilments made by Egyptian peasants. With determination, she strode toward the shimmering lights.
Jade kicked at the sand as she made her way up and over the low dunes, angry with herself for imbibing alone like some pathetic gutter-puss and for losing her way because of it. But it wasn’t just that. She felt guilty for having to pull Dr. Harper’s financing. Perhaps with a bit of gumption and a dash of luck, he could alert a newspaper in some wealthy part of the world where dozens of philanthropists were just salivating to invest in a treasure hunt.MoreLess
