Now, clean and sober (mostly), he has come into a chunk of inheritance-- retirement money.What could go wrong in the fresh environment of Florida's Nature Coast? The temptations of social life in a seedy trailer park community? The depredations of the Great Recession? A girlfriend's biker son? Increasingly volatile weather? How about all of the above?  ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Chris Dungey is a retired auto worker living in Lapeer, Michigan. He has written short stories all of his adult life.
