The desert don’t hand out mercy. It burns it off your back and brands your bones. Out past the cracked flats where the sun don’t blink and the wind tastes like rust, Angel—once a hellraiser with fire in his fists—turned his back on neon lies and barroom ghosts. The jukebox begged him to fold. He answered with steel. Every hammer strike was a middle finger to the easy way out.
Gold light spilled across a jagged shoreline, sea restless behind him, sky wide and unyielding overhead.
Ash-gray fog rolled low across the land, streaked with faint red like old embers refusing to die.
Out past the breakers, where salt wind cuts and the tide don’t ask permission, he stood. Boots planted. Jaw set. Storm-tested.
Under a sky so hot it feels like judgment, the angel plants his hammer like a stake in hell. Dust cakes his beard.
