The story
Washed-up, alcoholic country singer-songwriter Mac Sledge awakens at a run-down Texas roadside motel and gas station after a night of heavy drinking.
Mac resolves to give up alcohol and start his life anew.
After the story is published, the neighbourhood learns of Mac's past, and members of a local country–western band visit him to show their respect.
