Pick one for me...

I have four story ideas I've been working on. I've been too busy to put forth any effort in my writing, whether professionally or on here, but I will probably have time in the next week or so to be able to get one of these done. I'd like you guys and gals to be able to pick one of the ideas, and I'll do my best to get it up soon. I've wanted to do a desert quicksand scene with a strong female character for some time, and these are the four concepts that I've come up with.
1) CSI fanfic; A young, female off-duty police officer from another state is found outside of Las Vegas by a pair of hikers. Her body is buried mouth-deep in the desert. The CSI crew have to find out how somebody could have "buried" an armed, off duty cop in the sand. I think you guys know how it might have happened. Long, descriptive reveal at the end.
2) A female security contractor in the Middle East escapes an ambush that takes out her convoy. She then flees into the desert, and ultimately runs into a patch of wet sand between two sand dunes. Trapped, and with the enemy nearby, she sinks to her doom.
3) A young woman who dressed as a man to fight in the Civil War is separated from her Confederate cavalry company as they patrol in New Mexico. She rides into quicksand, and gets pinned to her worn saddle when a nail snags her pants. Horse and rider go under.
4) Somewhat racist "Minutemen" girl, patrolling the border. There's been a rainstorm recently, and fine, dry sand has washed into a tunnel on the border wall. Our main character walks into this pit, and sinks into the mud-filled hole. What follows is a grim scene involving quicksand, razor wire and Dario Argento-esque horror.
So which one does everyone want me to try to work on?
