I love the way you write. This has the dust and heat of Mexico, the way that your bowverse has the slush and lampblack.
I keep wanting to quote the whole thing back to you, but this one in particular, just grabbed my heart and made it broken and whole again,all at once: the scratched lines of the erased letters are as ever-present as ever, invisible from a distance, or if flashed rapidly before the swift delivery of a bullet, but upon any kind of close observation, blatantly obvious. the badge is also splattered a little with dried blood; the chihuahua whines a little at the cessation of el's attention, pushes up between his hands and begins to lick at the dark spots on the plastic covering.
Dude. The heatbuzz of the desert. Do you guys have that? Is the desert there like that too? Because the desert here is just like that , and the fact that you can describe it, living so far from this location!!
This is absolutely beautiful and evocative and fabulous.
um. but i thought i said sands/ramierez? not that i'm complaining
i've never been to any kind of desert, here in wet and leafy victoria, but filmmaking is a wonderful thing, innit?
that scene with the badge and the chihuahua is what the whole story was essentially hinged around... i need some prompting to come up with a single scene, then its fairly easy to build the rest of the story around that scene.
