Introduction

This is for Teresa Renton's "Safe Place" Twitter flash Challenge which you can read about here;

The challenge is:

Write a 249 character short Twitter/X length flash. Title doesn’t count.

Prompt: OASIS vs BLUR.

This is mine

The music is "Mirage" by Santana from the album "Borboletta"

Mirage

Walking across burning desert sands, water needed, throat feeling like sandpaper, feel like there’s not long left, eyes blurring. Then an Oasis! Could this be salvation? Falling gratefully into the cool water, but it’s just hot sand. Another Mirage
