21st Century Martyrdom and Gas Station Daydreams at Dusk: A Collection of Experimental Prose by Cruz Del Castillo

At dusk, Cruz del Castillo finds himself at a lonely gas station on a desolate Texan highway. With a broken heart, a cigarette, and a Budweiser can in hand, he watches the cars pass by in the distance. As the sun slowly starts disappearing on the horizon, Cruz becomes consumed by the cruel curiosity of what could’ve been. He reflects on his past, reminiscing about the fervent highs and devastating lows of his passionate romantic flings. As night falls, his thoughts grow darker. Nightmares, intrusive memories, and past traumas wreak havoc, creating a reckless tornado inside his mind. 21st Century Martyrdom and Gas Station Daydreams at Dusk is a profound collection of confessional writings. Through a blend of autobiographical and fictional narratives, Del Castillo turns the microscope on himself, laying his soul bare before the reader. With unflinching vulnerability, he examines his toxic relationships, mental health struggles, and the very purpose of life. This compendium of experimental prose is an uncensored and crude emotional purge, forming a chaotic and frantic bridge between confronting the past and moving on with the future, aiming for a detoxifying cleanse and a majestic rebirth. —- ISBN: 9798327970694
