Who was this guy? Was he the reason that Jon was in this ridiculous situation? Being stuck in the middle of nowhere in only his underwear?
The farmer kept talking about a danger. But other than the possibility of dying of thirst or hunger, Jon didn't see any danger that could happen to him.
After a few minutes, the swirling dust stopped. Jon looked up at the sky. Not even one cloud, but a perfect blue. It must have been midday. He scanned the sky, looking for how high the sun was.
But it wasn't there.
"What the hell?" The sun wasn't there, yet there was sunlight lighting everything up as if it were.
Jon looked back down at the ground, confirming to himself that it really was daytime. He got another shock. It was the road. It wasn't gravel anymore. Now it was paved, with a bright yellow-painted dashed line right down the middle.
Then, all of a sudden, there was a loud boom, somewhere off in the distance.
Jon didn't understand any of this.
