I relate to this as someone living in one of these ugly places 🙈

tbh I do too. But there is always a new layer of hell to be found haha.

I’m fascinated by these places; the gas station in Needles...the hotel in the middle of nowhere... most of the architecture in small town North Dakota. Not just by the buildings themselves, but by the people who spend their lives in them.

I love them in an odd way, Kevin...

Thanks man.

This is one of my favorites and, unlike most of my writing, I wrote in half an hour one day.
