#794 Hurricanes Anonymous- Adam Johnson
Three weeks after Katrina Rocked New Orleans, Hurricane Rita hit. Many of the people that fled to places like Lake Charles, were now hit twice. Nonc is driving a UPS van and delivering to a few of the rescue and recovery crews. The area is a disaster.
“Outside the campers are bright purple laundry bins, molded plastic porch chairs and the deep black of weber grills, which is what happens when Wal-Mart is your first responder.”
In tow at all times is Geronimo, his son from a two-month relationship with Marnie. Geronimo has unceremoniously been handed off and Marnie is nowhere to be found. Nonc tries to track her down, raise his son, stay in Alcohol recovery, manage a new relationship, survive the post-hurricane chaos and deal with his estranged dying father. There is a lot on his plate. His head seems to be in the right place and with a little luck and a couple of right moves, he might just make it. Luck, however, is not something that has been on his side.
