El Dorado
Photo prompt-© Dee Lovering
He was not bitter with the turn of events.
When they had embarked on the journey they knew that it could
end in a disaster for everyone who had tried to reach El Dorado had perished.
Most of his friends had succumbed to diseases. But he would
not stop.
A storm broke out and the ship tossed like a cork in the
waves.
When he woke up he was on the land and all alone. He got up and stumbled
on.
Out of nowhere a glorious, gilded man appeared before him. Although wonderstruck, he felt the stab in his heart.
