MY CASTLE IN SPAIN

While they lay there holding hands, Ambio told Serena what happened. When the fog finally lifted after the sun came out, I thought I was going to burn up. I was so thirsty that I was tempted to drink the seawater, but I knew it would kill me. And then I prayed, saying, We were born together, please let us die together. Ambio then went on to say, I drifted all that day without a cloud in sight. All I could think of was that you were getting burned up like myself. I wish, said Serena, that Id had the misfortune not to have been picked up by those fishermen. It would have saved me from a living hell. I did not get burned up like you, but if hell is anything like I went through, I sure do not want to go there._,
