Excerpt....
Joe turned and
ran back into the gully, but he didn’t get very far. A sudden blast of wind
shoved him to the ground. Flat on his face, he heard the wind whistling and
screeching past his ears. When he lifted his head, he couldn’t see the pregnant
girl anymore. All the dust whirled and whipped into a blinding black blizzard.
He thought for sure she’d gotten snatched up in the dust storm. The wind lashed
at his face. He went to call out to her, but he didn’t know what to say because
he didn’t know her name. And even if he did, his voice would’ve gotten lost in
the snarling wind. Nevertheless, he had to find her.
