Defeat Never Never Land

...Strong wind blew in their faces just like depression punching their faith.
Ken shouted: "why are we here?" Bo answered: "To strengthen our minds and bodies!" Ken shouted again: "bullshit!! i want to give up!" they had a quarrel with each other. After the fight they decided to split up. Ken ran eastwards with his upset mind while Bo ran westwards with his anger.

There was an extreme running race held every year. Thus Ken and Bo participated in the game. They had had huge confidence to win the race 3 days ago. Actually, they just won the "through the south pole" game 6 months ago. Would they fail this time?

3 days later, Ken dehydrated. he was in a dangerous situation. He thought he might die under the burning sun. He lay down in his simple camp without hope but despite their argument it seemed there was some telepathic bound between them. Bo felt something. He ran for 2days and found water. He knew he would finish the game and win the price. But Bo could not leave his partner. He decided to go back in order to find Ken because he had the strong feeling that Ken was suffering. He ran through endless desert and fought with the cruel sun. After hundreds of kilometres, he found Ken in a tattered dirty camp that was covered in sand and Ken was almost dead as well as dull and dry.

Bo kept on calling Ken:" Ken , are you there ? Are you alright?" and kept on digging for Ken who was buried under the hot heavy yellow sand. Ken could not believe that someone called his name. It was just like a weak light passing through a deep dark adyss. He used his last energy to yell:" Here!!...I...". He wanted to yell more and more words but he could not do it. Eventually, Bo heard that. Bo heard the sound which was almost blown away by the wind. He dug more and harder. When he saw Ken's face, he prayed that Ken was still alive. He dug Ken out and held him tightly. He whispered beside Ken's ear:"I am here, Ken!! We are alive!!!"

After he had given him first aid, Bo didn't expect that the situation was so terrible. He checked his backpack. There was only water for 5 days, a dozen chocolate bars, 11 fish cans and 2 emergency medication boxes. He had to decide which way was more safely. Was it safer to go to the destination of the game or to find an oasis? This difficult choice made him had a anxious. Ken saw Bo's worried face and said:" What's wrong, Bo?" Bo did not want Ken to Know that they had supply problems. Bo lied:" Nothing!! Everything is under control!!" To be honest, Ken knew it was just a friendly lie.
