Having been saved by Sally-Anne and her water flask, Max begins his wandering over the dunes. Max walks about as far as he can go until he finally collapses from the heat, wind, and dryness. Max lies unconscious as the desert slowly begins to swallow him up as the wind drifts layers of sand over his body. Night falls and out of the wasteland appears the silhouette of a wanderer, a stranger armed with long spears cresting a dune and approaching Max.
