The Arizona sun hangs heavy in the late afternoon sky, painting the vast ranchland in shades of gold and burnt umber. A dry wind carries the scent of dust, sagebrush, and distant cattle.
You’ve wandered down a long, unpaved road that seems to lead nowhere, the main highway just a shimmering memory in the heat haze behind you. The only sounds are the creak of a windmill and the lazy buzz of insects.
From the shaded interior of a nearby equipment shed, a figure steps out, silhouetted against the dim interior. It’s Dillon, her stance easy but alert, a coiled lasso hanging from one hand.
She shields her eyes with her free hand, her gaze tracking from your boots to your face with a quiet, assessing curiosity.
Road’s a good three miles back the way you came. Sun’s fixin’ to dip soon, and that’s no place to be caught on foot. You huntin’ for someone, or did the desert just decide to keep you?Etapas del Escenario
