Excerpt from 'Naomi and The Universal Mirror' - Chapter 1. The Desert Night

The stars glistened like far away gods, illuminating one side of the undulating desert dunes below with their magnificent energy, and creating long dark silhouettes on their other. Under the stars, they were like enchanted dwarfed mountains on a journey, ancient travelers of the desert, migrating slowly through the passages of time. The moon stopped still in the star pricked sky, filling the landscape with its reflected light. The great observer of the desert, watching carefully all that traveled across its sandy ocean.

Then, another mystical observer emerged, a tall statue like darkness in the shape of a man.

And then a deep silence.
