A dust storm sweeps over beautiful farmland, turning fields of wheat into desert and chasing the narrator. The dust fills and absorbs everything, exhausting and choking people as it swirls and darts across the empty land. The narrator stands with blurred vision, mourning the lost dream of living on the land that is now buried in dust and tragedy beneath their feet.

4. I’m dissolving into this nightmare

5. It whirls ripples and swirls. A sad tsunami, swallowing up the desperate people.

10. broken hearts broken words Empty expressions of the people from the dust cloud

11. The morning becomes night
