Kirby Howell Quotes
Our Group Pressed West On What Was Left Of Highway 93, Toward The Pass Leading To Las Vegas. Sand Covered The Road In Loose Drifts So Deep The Horses' Hooves Sank Into Them. The Metal Highway Signs Were Bent Low By The Strong Wind, And Above Us, Billboards That Once Screamed Ads For The Casinos Were Now Stripped Of Their Promises Of Penny Slots And Large Jackpots. The Raw Boards Underneath Were Exposed, Like Showgirls Without Their Makeup. Some Signs Had Been Blown Over Completely And Lay Half-buried Under Mounds Of Sand, Like Sleeping Animals.
Cars Dotted The Highway, Their Paint Scoured Off And Dead Tumbleweeds Caught Underneath Them. Their Windows Were Fogged With Death, And Despite My Effort Not To Look, My Eyes Were Drawn To The Blurred Images Of The Still Forms Inside. I Tried To Concentrate On The Dark Road Ahead Of Us Instead.
