Lost Highway(34)

After we trade heads for a deck of cards at the outpost, Blackjack becomes our newest distraction. Quill quickly learns my tells, so I lose most hands. His reward for winning is control in bed, making me the winner too.

Embracing love and laughter is the key to staying sane. We keep our minds focused on what matters rather than allowing them to become prey to the voices haunting this world.

The Lost Highway might not be the devil, but the saying about idle hands still makes sense. As long as we enjoy the small joys – a tender caress, a card game, the occasional M&M – we will remain the Quill and Odessa, who discovered love and forgiveness in a place drenched in darkness and horror.
