Miraggi
by G. G. Vega Francesca RuscelloUn uomo si avventurò nelle regioni aride del Sahara, aveva l'intenzione di attraversarlo, cominciò il suo viaggio in Tunisia, doveva passare per il territorio algerino e pensava di arrivare alle frontiere del Marocco. Sapeva che nel deserto Sahariano poteva vivere senza mangiare per alcuni giorni, però non più di 24 ore senza acqua, dal momento che gran parte del giorno la temperatura dell'ambiente era estrema, inoltre i pericoli aumentavano, insetti velenosi, come gli scorpioni più letali del mondo, il nemico principale dei berberi, il serpente cornuto, anche il cobra mortale, in special modo il cobra egiziano, gli sciacalli di notte e a volte piccole ma aggressive mandrie di lupo, e un ragno molto velenoso chiamato ragno cammello. Sapeva che esistevano piante velenose, e che la vegetazione era poca, l'acqua quasi impossibile. Si era preparato molto, era mentalmente pronto, l'attrezzatura che aveva preparato era la più attuale, la più moderna e considerata la più efficiente.
