The American Conversion

Inviting to all souls searching for necessities. Not just of body, but mind and soul, searching for the Americana Conversion; savior of the world, stumbling through the universe burdened and tired from the weight of responsibility. Bending and frail from overuse and abuse by the people and the world. Looked upon to bear healing to those in need, she is only a reflection of what she once was. Her price for freedom has been gluttony, greed that were fed to her children as a crippling nutrition they can no longer survive on. Those days are over. Her food now is to come from her own skin, bones and blood. Her people continue to move forward in their search for the American dream. Scraping and clawing at her skin to find a place to hide and survive. There isn't much left to give. Relationships, love, families are formed during the Americana Conversion as generations strive to fix irreparable damage or find a way to leave it behind; a carcass in sand to stand as a memory of what once was the Americana.
