Beyond Las Vegas

By Thomas Reardon

In the vibrant yet disorienting backdrop of Las Vegas, Steve Ehrlich grapples with the sudden loss of his old college friend, Craig Wells, who is found dead in the iconic Bellagio Fountains. As the shock of the news unravels his memories of their reunion trip, Steve wrestles with regret and the haunting question of whether he could have prevented Craig's tragic end. With echoes of Hunter S. Thompson's legacy resonating through their adventures, Steve reflects on themes of friendship, the pursuit of meaning, and the dark undercurrents of the American Dream. Amidst the glitz and glamour of Sin City, he confronts his own mortality and the existential despair that can linger beneath a facade of success. As the investigation unfolds, Steve is forced to navigate the murky waters of grief, guilt, and the fragile connections that define their lives.
