Creatures that move through a desert leave signs of their passage, and here are ten different things that might be spotted.

  1. Dead scorpion that has been crushed by a boot.
  2. Discarded leather strap that has perished and snapped.
  3. Fragments of bone that have been cracked open partially buried in the sand.
  4. Plant that bears a bruise from where something has knocked it.
  5. Scattering of ash on top of the sand.
  6. Scrap of fabric that is blowing in the wind.
  7. Slowly disappearing as the sand settles are several footprints.
  8. Sticking out of the sand is a bit of canvas, which is revealed to be part of a buried tent.
  9. Waste that has been buried in a shallow depression.
  10. Water skin that has been discarded; it has a hole in it.
