The rim of the grandest canyon on the planet. And in a instant, the sunrise explodes into color.
The three, Reg, Susan, and Eric, take it all in. There is nothing at all to say. And yet…Reg wants to speak.
The leader of this trek is conflicted in this moment. It is as if there is a secret that must be released…something too awful to say, a tale that defies his capacity for language.
Susan notices his troubled face.
“You OK?”
He slowly sits on the rocky ground. Thinks.
“What is it?”
He will not say it. He cannot say it. Instead he offers:
“Vegas. We should go to Las Vegas today.”
“Vegas?”
“It’s only a little out of the way. We’ll celebrate our journey...”
Susan shakes her head, smiles, looks over to where Eric stands, arms outstretched.
“Reggie wants to do Vegas. You in?”
Eric laughs. “Yeah. I’m in.”
