The Stranger Beneath the Tree
Stranger Under the Tree** In the past, there were cities so drier that even birds forgot how to sing. It hadn't rained in four years. The well was almost empty. The data tasted like sand, and people's eyes were equally hollow. The kids aren't playing anymore. Even the mosque echoed in silence. Then one afternoon, a man appeared to shine, too tired under the sky. He wore long white clothes with dust, and he had no water or bags - just a staff member and a smile. He went to the centre of the city and sat under an old dead tree. No one had sat under this tree for years. His bark was separated, his branches were grey, and they did not wear leaves.

The Lantern in the Desert: A Story of Faith, Trials, and Divine Mercy
Desert lantern. It was the warmth type that bent the air and obscured the edges of reality. In this sandy meer, lonely travelers turned the dunes over, carrying worn leather bags, small water skins and old lanterns that had not been illuminated for years.
