A nice piece of proletarian writing. It reminds me a bit of Steinbeck with an atmosphere Bradbury. However I live in Florida, so some of the dialogue didn't ring true for me. I would love to read this piece if with a setting was The North Sea.
There's a reason Steinbeck wrote about Salinas County. It's the same reason Vonnegut wrote mostly about Central New York State and Indiana. Carl Hiaasen sticks mostly to Florida.

Thanks for the story.
