Stranded
"This planet is mostly sand." She stated. "Just our luck we ended up here." She scooped up a handful and let it sift through her fingers. I could see grains of sand on her palm glistening in the sun.
"All we need is a lot of water and we could be on a beach planet." I replied jokingly. We both looked at the desert surrounding us. It went on forever in all directions.
"We could do with some shelter." She said.
Thankfully the emergency beacon had been rescued from the wreckage. All we could do was wait, and hope.
