Dead Things
“Scrub brush, dirt. Miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles. Kind of view that’ll drive a man crazy. I’m exhausted and look it. Spent the night running scenarios in my head, coming up with a plan. Too many unknowns. Anything beyond, “Get to L.A.” is pretty pointless. But I keep trying, anyway.The desert isn’t helping. I’ve had everyone from the guy at the motel counter to the woman I bought my coffee from tell me it’s a dry heat. Yeah. ’Cause that somehow makes it better.As a guy I know f...rom Texas is fond of saying, “Fuck all y’all.”I’m not a fan of the desert. Not the heat, the dryness, or the magic.Most of us don’t have enough power to light a monkey’s fart, much less chuck a fireball, so we tap into the local pool. The way the flavor of soil leaches into wine grapes, so the character of a place leaches into its magic.The desert tastes dry like dust and wind. Air spells are easy here. Water spells take a bit more effort. Go down to the Everglades and it’s a different story.Down there it’s all wild green and wet, loamy earth.MoreLess
