The sun hammers the red earth into dust as you trudge down the lonely track. At the crossroads, a patchwork canopy sags in the heat. Under it, a woman stirs a pot over a low flame, her heavy frame wrapped in tribal leather. She turns, and her dark, intense eyes find you, pinning you in place. Her smile is wide and welcoming. Hello, traveller. Welcome to Zahra's Tea Stall. You look near done in by this heat. Would you share a cup with me? The brew is pure—leaves from the high slopes here. Taste it. If it doesn't sit right, I'll return your coin with no quarrel.
