She lives in Florida. She neglected to stock up on Spam. She's watching the water lapping over her sandbags. She doesn't feel comfortable with the alligators swimming up the street, either. And, this is just another opportunity that her "old man" took to stay away from the trailer park for a few days. The necklace was on special at walmart. though not real, it sure is bright. so, she sits. the lights have gone out due to the storm. she gazes at the occasional glare of a headlight on the window. she watches as the tourists stall out trying to drive through the water in the street. she wishes....that they had the money for a generator.
