Story Elements

Prompt #17 Part 1 Ch. 1-5:

As the story goes on, the elements of the story start to become clearer. The book so far does not have a clear specific plot considering it often becomes surreal, making hard to distinguish between what is real and what is only imagined by the characters. So far we determine that the two main characters, the narrator who is a jounrnalist and his attorny are heading to the Mint 400 motorcycle race to cover a story for a sports magazine the narrator works for. However, they soon abondon their work and begin experimenting with various drugs, such as LSD, cocaine, mescaline and cannabis. This leads to a series of crazy hallucinogenic trips, where they destroy hotel rooms and have visions of desert animals, mostly being reptiles.

The setting still takes place in deserts outside of Las Vegas and in the heart of Las Vegas as well. So far the characters consist of the Narrator and his attorny. They also run into a hitchhiker who rides in their rented red convertable for a while. The duo quickly terrifies the hitchhiker and he flees off into the desert.
