Excerpt from A Highway of Whispered Rain by Victor D Sandiego ""All the dead truckers from the pileup on the highway gathered around the afterlife elm to proclaim their retroactive innocence. We had heaven’s mist in our eyes, they said, and couldn’t see a damn thing but angels in the brake lights and rest stops rich with whiskey. Tell our mothers goodbye and tell the kids we’re sorry."

When we were young, before #domestic gods sold us to the pacified habit of age, we romped with old fashioned deities who smoked unfiltered cigarettes and injected #vss365 three times a week, mostly for kicks, but also in the quest for enduring fame, or for some, an early passing.
