The Devil Takes You Home
What you need to know before your trail
‘Sometimes God is your copilot, but it’s the Devil who takes you home.’
It was never just a job. Becoming a hitman was the only way Mario could cover his young daughter’s medical expenses. But before long his family is left in pieces, and he’s barely even put a dent in the stack of bills.
Then he’s presented with an offer: one last score that will either pull him out of poverty forever or put a bullet in the back of his skull. A man named Juanca needs help stealing $2 million dollars from a drug cartel.
Together, they begin a journey to an underworld where unspeakable horrors happen every day. He’s a man with nothing to lose, but the Devil is waiting for him.

Travel Guide
From Texas to Mexico
“The connective tissue between large Texas cities is brown nothingness.”
“It’s like whichever deity waws in harge of the terrain just gave up and copied and pasted the same mile over and over again all the way along 1-10.”
Mexico
” People are usually suprised when they hit the boreder an realise ther’s no change in the landscape, no giant dividing line in the sky. The land doesn’t care about the stupid lines humans insist on drawing on them, and the southern borrder is no different. There’s nothng there that makes it obvious you’re approaching an interstitial space between cultures, nothng that says people of colour live on one side and people of a different colour inhabit the opposite side.”
