What Happens in Vegas

2026 · 6 min · Comedy

Angel and Sisterfriend are outsiders living in stark contrast with their idyllic, monotonous suburb. Dressed in black and protected by goth aesthetics on the outside, Angel and Sisterfriend are soft on the inside. They're barely adults, still learning how to express themselves. They find refuge and safety in their sisterfriendship. When Angel secretly becomes obsessed with finding out "what happens in Vegas," she tries everything. Praying to God. A seance. But nothing can answer the question at hand. While Angel wonders if there is life beyond the subdivision, Sisterfriend must grapple with the thought of losing her friend to the big city.
