A discarded Bazooka Joe gum wrapper Two pieces of aluminum foil 14 pixie sticks of various flavors A packet of fire sauce from Taco Bell A half-gallon carton of spoiled milk A half-eaten roast beef sandwich, covered in olive green mold A wilted red rose A broken picture frame with a picture that was ripped in half An empty champagne glass with red lipstick in the shape of a woman’s lips on the side One double A battery A green rabbit’s foot A 9" long strand of shoelace, frayed at both ends Many crushed, empty beer cans A torn white t-shirt A strand of friendship beads A partially legible postcard from Milan, Italy with a woman’s handwriting on it that read:      “...just can’t handle...anymore...      Life is...just want you....     away...     -Des... [Rest of signature illegible]” Several ***** pennies, scattered about 21 cigarette butts, some spilled from the ashtray, all the same brand A $173.44 electric bill A deck of playing cards from the Pyramid Casino with a hole through the center, the Queen of Hearts is shredded and strewn about the driver’s side floorboard A pink feather boa A stale half-full box of cheap cigars A pen featuring the logo of the Las Vegas Hilton A business card from an insurance salesman with a non-descript name The label from a bottle of Krystal Several flyers from various escort services On the passenger’s door: A large splatter of sun-dried blood In the dirt outside: A pair of men’s sunglasses One shell casing from a .45 A Kimber .1911 handgun A male skeleton with a hole in the skull’s right temple
