The Salton Sea

October nights on the cracked shore, a single motel sign buzzing. A widower with a face full of wrong answers trades lies over cheap beer, his wife’s ghost sitting heavy in the passenger seat. By dawn he’ll stand in a parking lot holding a gun he doesn’t want to fire. Like the desert remembers every footprint and erases none.
