“We used to fear the heat haze. Thought it was just the desert playing tricks on a thirsty mind. But this summer, the haze didn’t vanish at sundown. It stayed. Then came the hum. A cold, metallic vibration that turned the cattle mad and the creek to oil. They didn’t want our gold, they wanted our ghosts. Now the sand is glass and the wind sounds like screaming iron.”
