Reader is from Florida. If you don't like Florida, then pick another southern state. Or not. At the moment, I'm not sure how relevant what state you're from is to the story. I picked Florida because I'm from Florida. I can't write about a state I've never lived in or been to. Then again, I'm going to be writing about England, and I've never been there . . . Disregard me. Your mother is from London, born and raised. She always told you about your father, how he was a redneck drug addict living someplace in Kentucky, so you never asked too much about him nor ever wanted to know. You were content with the life you were living, so never were interested in knowing. Until you were forced into moving to London.
