We realize Royal Road is probably not the best place to post gonzo-style travel journalism but, on the other hand... where the hellis?

So here we go...

In the twilight of American dreams, Dallas Alexander-citizen journalist, tinfoil enthusiast, and reluctant philosopher-tears through the New Mexico desert with his blind dog Slim Pickins riding shotgun. Fleeing the relentless doom of 2025's headlines and his own paranoia, Dallas descends upon Roswell seeking alien truths and a brief respite from reality's crushing weight.

What he finds instead is a town where Little Green Men grin from every storefront while the real mystery lies in the faded eyes of locals who've stopped believing. As Dallas navigates one-lane bridges to nowhere, hostile truckers with political agendas, and the catastrophic aftermath of consuming 400mg of Dr. Carlile's "special" gummy bears, his journey transforms from UFO tourism to an existential reckoning with America's desperate need for meaning in chaos.

Darkly hilarious and brutally honest, this gonzo odyssey through the heart of conspiracy country asks: In a world coming apart at the seams, is it better to believe in nefarious plots than accept the terrifying randomness of existence? And when the stars refuse to answer, where do we turn next?

Perhaps the truth isn't just out there-it's staring back at us from motel mirrors, wearing a tinfoil hat and wondering what the hell happened to the hot tub.
