[ YC 122 NEWC ] Conscience

After a while the man tried to sit up but his clumsy attempt only resulted in him loosing his balance and falling over. With a quiet groan he finally sat up in pain. Then he slowly, and not without effort, came to his feet and froze at what his eyes saw. The men stood on a big dune and looked at the horizon where a …
