Vegas Dust by James A. Reeves
A few minutes after midnight in the Mojave desert, a preacher appears on a dead radio channel: “The devil’s job is to deceive you. The devil’s job is to make you think that God can’t do nothin’ for you, that God don’t care about you.”
This preacher is the centerpiece of Vegas Dust, a 77-minute sequence of grainy loops, vinyl crackle, and phantom Americana built for a late-night drive. Neon gives way to starlight. Voices worry about their souls on the AM dial. A caller from Twentynine Palms says the universe might not even exist, that maybe the sun is hanging from a tree somewhere.
And you can never see further than your headlights.
