Paul Undres has made a mess of things. Sure, he lost his head at the close of The Third Step, A Smoking Gun, but Paul, well... Al has the power of the pen on his side, and delivers him back to life. As to the real problem, making a living, it is pretty basic, but it takes a rigorous dream to figure just how. Maybe his wife can do it. About The Author: Al Lucas is an author of long and varied experience in life and recovery. Having found a way out of trouble, he imbues his stories with events both familiar and trippy, especially to those experienced with psychedelics. Recovery humor is the result. It is evident that those, who recover, find humor in things that nearly killed them. Some can get overly upset about it, but acceptance, an AA tenet, is the key toward coping. Dreaming that simple dream is the stuff of Al's paradigms for new future, as if he knows what that is.
