Carla: Descent

“Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?”

Evanescence - Tourniquet
I came to Vegas believing that I would find a family I had never known, that they would welcome me with open arms, and that I would know the love again. I was only 22 that morning as I drove through the glamorous streets in search of a reasonably priced hotel, naïve and vulnerable in ways I didn’t understand until it was much too late. The city’s glittering lights hid a darkness that I could not yet see. The wealth of her casinos hid a subculture of hideous monsters both human and inhuman.

My mother had died only weeks before, and until her death I’d believed I had no other family. She’d told me that my father had been an orphan who had died before I was born, and her relations had passed on long before. It wasn’t until I went through her things that I found the two neatly tied bundles of letters kept in a hat box on the top shelf of her closet; letters that made me think for the first time in my life that my mother was a liar. Those letters led me to Las Vegas, the Great Shinning Lie.
