"Daddy, my legs are tired."
I glanced down and looked into my daughters face. Her little cheeks were becoming sunburned and she had a look of distaste etched on her face. "I know honey, I know, just one more dune and we'll be back at the jeep."
I fucking hope so, how the hell did I get lost out here anyway. This shit looks all the same, just wait until her whore mother hears about this, ill lose custody.
What had started out as a little side adventure had turned into an entire day walking around the Sahara desert, while I was shooting some documentary film in Africa. It was a high paying gig, so naturally I jumped at the chance taking my daughter with me so she could see the world. Now we were hopelessly lost, and I had only taken a couple of bottles of water. No snacking material what so ever.
The sun was beginning to set, and I was becoming more and more nervous of the thought of staying a night in the wild. Surely the jeep was only just a bit further, just over the next dune.
"Daddy im thirsty." I handed her the last bottle of water that was about half full, or half empty depending on how you looked at it. She guzzled it down in rapid succession. I narrowed my eyes. "Why didn't you save some for daddy? I'm thirsty too babe."
"I'm more important, mom says so all the time!" She pointed her nose up with this statement and huffed off a little ahead of me.
Great. Not only does she look like the bitch that helped spawn her, now she's starting to sound like her. This is going to be a fun evening.
"Lets stop here for the night honey, I'm getting pretty tired." We sat down and I covered her up with the shirt I was wearing. Laying in the sand bare chested was uncomfortable, but my body was tired, and I knew I needed sleep for the trek we were embarking on. "Good night baby, sleep well.'
"Night daddy."
We were asleep in minutes.
DAY 2
I was awakened by the blistering heat of a unforgiving bastard sun. I rubbed my eyes to wake them up and promptly got sand in them.
Son of a BITCH. I'm fucking thirsty. Water. Water. Water. Water.
When I had enough sand out of my eyes to cease their clenching I pushed my daughters shoulder to wake her up. "Time to get up honey, lets get back to the jeep.'
Water. Water, water, water. I was damn thirsty
"Its time to get up, and if you're not up in twelve seconds, you're going to be GROUNDED!" I didn't really mean to be so stern with her, but sometimes you had to be. We needed to get going before the sun really got all heated, and ready to roast. I rolled her over and my hand flew to my mouth. Her face was an nasty looking purple bloated blob. Her eyes looking like they were going to push themselves out of their sockets. She had two festering puncture wounds near the top of her throat.
Holy. Fuck.
Oh shit oh shit oh shit. What the fuck. How did this happen? What the FUCK. Oh my god. Water, water, water. I'm so fucking thirsty.
I knew she was dead, there was no way she wouldn't be. Nothing living had ever looked this dead. Fucking dead. She looked like a zombie without the reanimation. My stomach rolled, flipped and clenched in frantic circle. I picked her up and started running. I just ran, and ran and ran. I had to get away, had to get to the jeep, she'd be ok with some water or something. It felt like I could just run away from death itself, had to get away.
You'll never make it back to the jeep, no. No way. You'll just be out here forever burning in the sun clutching your dead zombie daughter. This is the way you'll die too. Bloated zombie dead and bloated zombie daughter, burning in the sun. Water. Water, water water water.
FUCK YOU The sound of my own voice startled me and I dropped my daughter. I glanced down and looked into my daughters face. Her little cheeks were bloated. Bloated daughter. I looked up into the sun. Staring straight at it.
Screaming now, "You'll never get me you fucking, you may have my bloated zombie daughter but this is dad going to the jeep. You hear me, jeep dad is leaving bloated daughter behind One is enough, one is enough."
I ran again. I ran and ran until I finally collapsed. My throat burned. It was torn and ragged.
Water, water, water water. Weep. I'll weep when I make it to the jeep.
Just before I closed my eyes I seen my daughters face, bloated zombie daughter. Now I was going to be bloated zombie dad, and we're going to be here forever, just burning in the sun.

no one has won though you're well on your way to beating me and moving on to the finals.
Matt DID declare TToM the winner I think but this will not be decided that way.
