A Desert Episode (short story)

  • Type: Short Story

A Desert Episode is a short story by author Algernon Blackwood. - AsNotedIn

It was the end of a day's expedition in the Arabian Desert, and they were having tea. A few yards away the donkeys munched their barsim; beside them in the sand the boys lay finishing bread and jam. Immense, with gliding tread, the sun's rays slid from crest to crest of the limestone ridges that broke the huge expanse towards the Red Sea.
