The desert wind blew the tumbleweed in front of the car. Alex swerved to avoid the tumbleweed, but he turned the wheel a bit too strong and the car left the road and skidded onto the dirt median. He instantly slammed on the brakes and the car stopped in a cloud of dirt. When the dust cloud had settled and he could see around him again, he realized that he'd somehow crossed over into an entirely new dimension.

✨ a little 'about me' ✨ saw so many new frens joining since lens went permissionless, so I thought it would be a good time to do an introduction :) I'm amber, an artist and photographer based in NYC (but I was born and raised in Taiwan 🇹🇼). I've always been very passionate about visual art and experimented with various media, both traditional and digital. Aside from sketching portraits and imaginary creatures for fun, I also love learning different design tools, both 2D and 3D, to bring my creative vision to life. I fell in love with film photography in the summer of 2021 when I was traveling abroad, and have been sharing my work constantly ever since. It allows me to tell stories through photographs that resembles my own thoughts and emotions - and when I do capture moments with a digital camera, I always play with the color palette to further convey the mood and solidify the narrative. here are some links where you can view my work: photography (curated on @lens/ornaart ): <https://orna.art/u/arterlioz/g/photography> Sketchbook series: <https://hey.xyz/posts/0xaeea-0x05d4> (use #sketchbookseries on @lens/hey to see all the posts I've made so far) drops on Zora: <https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xa7739902ef5684ff3289379a3eb8d2b896a34e60/1?referrer=0x399e62557a267B0aBd6E99bF22e5aF5A21Ead53b> photography I've collected on lens (great way to discover other talented artists💕): <https://gallery.so/amber/galleries/2TcbfZXDdqFGdiD9wJSd46iHKOd> If you've made it this far, thank you!

There were a variety of ways to win the game. James had played it long enough to know most of them and he could see what his opponent was trying to do. There was a simple counterattack that James could use and the game should be his. He began deploying it with the confidence of a veteran player who had been in this situation a thousand times in the past. So, it was with great surprise when his opponent used a move he had never before seen or anticipated to easily defeat him in the game.
The time to take action was now. All three men knew in their hearts this was the case, yet none of them moved a muscle to try. They were all watching and waiting for one of the others to make the first move so they could follow a step or two behind and help. The situation demanded a leader and all three men were followers.
