“Not much,” Karrson replied, pulling him up. “We only just got ourselves out of the aircraft...” Karrson looked back and saw it burning, a visible plume of smoke and disturbed hot air rising from the wreckage. “Quite timely I would say.”
Emmerich took a draw from his canteen and sat down on the ground. “Let me rest for a moment. I must readjust.”
Karrson surveyed their surroundings. To their east was the crash site, a long trail of upturned mud cut into the soft ground marked their landing course. Near the carnage was a misty forest that spread itself from east to west, a wide span of trees just to their north. In both directions no end came to sight. Deeper into those woods one could descry the ground rise and fall, undulating into the curtains of mist. To their south the land was flat and wide, covered in the decaying remains of dead plants, now gray. The earth was soft, and it was a mixture of gray dust and black mud, feeling soft to the step. Further away he spotted what looked liked a farmhouse and warehouse, only that they have long fallen into dotage, and with no care began to deracinate into the wastes. A farm. At least what was left of a farm, that is what they are currently in, it struck Karrson. No more crops, no more friendly farmers enjoying the shape under the trees, no more cowboys sucking on wheat, only fallow land no longer fit for agriculture. It was all gone now.
