“Desert piranhas? What in the hell are you talking about?”
“Desert piranhas are the scourge of all desert travelers, I tell you. They swim in the air above the sand, attacking anything they find and eating it up. They’re worse than jackals.”
Kristof stopped at the foot of the dune and looked at his traveling companion.

Also not going to spew out the “welcome to my space on the ‘net” type nonsense either. I may throw stuff up on this site, but you are the ones reading it. Without my contribution, it would be empty space. Without your contribution it would be little more than one person screaming into the void. And that just kinda sucks, let me tell you.
