Her Name Is Rachel

A roadside sign advertising a restaurant, bar, and motel with a message welcoming earthlings and mentioning a Little Alien. The sign is rusty and shows signs of wear, situated on a desert landscape with mountains in the distance under a blue sky. Behind the sign, there are solar panels, mailboxes, and communication equipment, with a tall tower that has weather instruments and a small solar panel attached.

Perhaps The Most Fascinating Place On Earth

There’s something primal that pulls me toward Rachel, Nevada — that raw, open-boned silence of the desert stitched with mystery and menace. It’s not just the alien folklore or the barbed-wire mythos of Area 51. It’s the isolation, the tension between sky and dust, the feeling that something ancient or forbidden is just out of reach. Rachel isn’t just a place; it’s a threshold — between what we know and what we fear we might discover. And I keep getting drawn back, like something out there still has its hands on my story, whispering in frequencies I haven’t fully decoded yet.
