0:00.0	If you enjoy this show, you will enjoy the new novel Alice isn't dead, a standalone complete
0:07.1	reimagining of this story. It's out now, find it wherever you encounter books, or at AliceIsn't Dead.com.
0:18.4	Near the Nevada border, I pulled the truck to the side of the road, cut the engine left the AC on.
0:24.9	It is so hot here, opening the window feels like opening an oven to see if it's ready for bread.
0:33.9	Now it feels like even slapped in the face, like that. You know Alice, I'm staring at my hands.
0:45.2	They're just my hands like I've always had, but also there is something of heaven to them
0:50.3	because not that long ago they were touching your hands. How could they be ordinary hands and
0:56.9	also hold that memory at the same time? Doesn't make sense. I can't drive while I tell this.
1:08.4	Too much to say. I'm going to tell it all, Alice. Even the parts you know, I'm going to describe
1:15.8	the shape of the monster that is devouring me. And then I'm going to start this engine and leave

2:29.9	it looks like a bunch of those. And all around the towers are these discs or something reflecting
2:35.5	the sun up at the towers. Light so bright it's almost heat. You feel warmed just looking at it.
2:44.4	What is this thing? It goes on for miles. The towers and these fields of heat and light.
2:52.8	It's the kind of thing we always assume the government has stashed away somewhere in the great
2:56.9	empty of the southwest, but here it is right by the highway. For everyone going hopped up and
3:03.3	hopeful to Vegas or returning exhausted and disappointed to see. America has weird things in it.
3:11.2	It has so many miles, so much space to put the weirdness in. Alice, is that you?
3:21.5	I don't know why I asked that, but it was you. And the surprise of that seemed to justify the question.
