Dan Chaon Synopsis: Little America by Dan Chaon is a 21-page short story. In a post-apocalyptic world, Peter and Mr. Breeze cross a dangerous and terrifying new USA in search of a safe haven. Although Peter is no longer the boy he used to be, he still remembers his life before Mr. Breeze. When the two seek refuge in a protected city, guards take one look at the pair and turn them away. Back on the road, as Mr. Breeze and Peter encounter more dead towns and predators, Peter can’t help but wonder if his fading memories of childhood will be enough to keep him from giving in to the violence that haunts him.
