Trinity
part 7


Trinity Site.

Coasting up the smoothest paved road for miles, dead motionless dunes watch as we drive past. Abandoned MP watch towers. Forbidding 20 foot fences. Tank-proof trestles. Everything is gun blue against the desert sands. Images of Nazi barb, locks, shackles, and shaved heads. Verboten, verboten. A sign runs on.

      DRINKING, CHEWING,
      AND SMOKING MATERIALS
      AND THE APPLICATION
      OF COSMETICS IS
      PROHIBITED WITHIN
