Desmond Travellers Part 1
He was tired.
Tired of working in the same dead end job.
The paperwork and the annoying colleagues.
The monotonous routine.
He just wanted a vacation!
Where could he go?
How soon could he escape?
He decided he would visit the USA.
Arizona to be specific.
Maybe he could go to the Grand Canyon.
He booked the tickets that evening.
He printed his itinerary.
He would leave in three days.
There was a lot to do before he left.
He packed and cleaned his house.
He found someone to look after his dog Adam.
He rang his parents.
Soon he was at the airport.
He went down the escalator and went to a counter to get his tickets.

He watched a movie.
Then it was time for dinner.
He had ravioli and salad. It was delicious.
He watched another movie.
He blacked out.
When he woke up the plane was landing.

He got off the plane and collected his baggage. Then he hired a taxi to take him to the closest hotel. It was very cheap. Only $80 a night.
He booked into the hotel for three days.

He began to take photos. The Grand Canyon was breathtaking. The soil was a copper red and the air was dry. An eagle circled above. In the distance he could hear cars.
It was a very silent place yet also busy.
He was walking towards the information center when he slipped.
