TERMITE VALLEY

Beyond the dunes and mirages, there is a flat area of sand that is stretched far and dotted with dead plants that once struggled to live. Now the only thing living here are the giant sand mounds rising from the ground. They look almost like rock from a distance, but are merely hardened sand. The mounds reach up high, as tall as a building, and can easily be seen from a distance. That should be enough warning to not go near them, but eh, curiosity killed the cat. In these mounds live Termites. No, not squish with your shoe and a bother to your wooden house termites. This lovely bunch are massive - up to your knee - and really, what is the difference to them between wood or bones?
