Invasive Species
“Here they were again. How many nights had been spent this way since the campaign started? A thousand? Ten thousand?
It felt like a million.
Axelson could probably have figured it, the real number, or close, if he’d wanted to. But why bother? It would just depress him, and right now his brain was fried extra crispy anyway. The last thing it needed was a math problem to solve.
A million nights. A million hotels. Not that it made a difference. Wherever they stayed, it always felt like ...the same room. You could only tell where you were by the subjects of the paintings hanging on the walls.
In Iowa the paintings showed towheaded kids among ripening fields of corn. Vineyards or the Golden Gate Bridge in northern California. Leaping dolphins in Miami. Here in Albuquerque? Mountains and canyons.
Of course, you didn’t ever get the chance to see the actual scenery. Just the paintings.MoreLess
