Angel's Ride

It was LA in the year 2O21. A new underground theme park called "The River Styx" had just closed down. "Too many mysterious deaths and unethical methods to get people to visit it," the official inquiry had reported.

Only a chosen few had managed to make the dark journey down 'hell's river" before its demise, and Angel would be one of them. It was her obsession about the attraction--and her own mysterious connection to it which finally got him to take the voyage.

Looking back, it was that first day in the photo lab, while trying to get the young model's image more metallic on the screen. That's when Angel suddenly appeared to him in the flesh--her face next to his in the blue light of the monitor.

So what was it about this girl, he wondered? Why did she so obviously seek him out romantically as one of the few to take that mythological journey?

He would only learn those details while navigating the subterranean river with her--an answer to forever disturb his soul?
