Some creative writing, maybe?

It was a hot summer day and the noon sun offered no mercy. The sky was cloudless, clear and bright blue. Hot winds carrying dust blew across the fields and the yellow grass swayed reluctantly.
The sweltering heat was unbearable. He was sweating profusely soaking his last clean shit. He paused for a few seconds to catch his breath and looked around. The land was dry and dying. Nothing could survive this heat. Nothing should need to bear this heat. Sighing and shaking his head, he shouldered his heavy pack and kept going.

He had been traveling for five days now and still no sign of them. He had been able to follow their tracks for the first day and half of the second but soon their tracks led into the Moonshine Forest. He tracked them as best he could, and there was no better tracker, but navigating the forest was a daring feat. They must have been really scared to dare venture into the forest. They must be running from something really terrifying.

He had followed them into the forest and spent three days trying to find their trail but it was impossible. The undergrowth was so thick and the trees so tall that the canopy above let in little light. He traveled through the forest using all his senses except sight. The perpetual mist was very deceptive and played tricks on the mind. There was no sign of them anywhere.

After three days he gave up and made his way out of the forest. There was no point in getting lost in there himself. He would have to find them some other way. If they were running from something, there was only one place to run to, the coast. He decided it was best to make his way there keeping as close to the edge of the forest as possible. He would spot their track if they left the forest and could follow them from there. If not, he would wait for them at the coast. A week, maybe two. If they don't make it by then, then they would most probably be dead. He would take his chances. He can always track them again if they slip past him this time and next time he'll make sure to see them buried.
