~The Mystery That Was Wren~ "Dawson knew who Wren Brady was. He has always known of her, but has never actually known her. They attended the same High School, Mayview Prep. He was even once her waiter at Bernie's Burgers, but she payed no attention to him. News traveled around quickly at Mayview, especially if you hung out with Rebecca Healy's group, and it didn't take long for people to find out Wren's Mother had killed herself. People felt sorry for her. Real sorry, actually. One guy bought her a bouquet of yellow lilies, and presented them to her in our English class. She accepted all of the gifts and the stares of pity, but never once said the reassuring words "It's alright. I'm alright." She was a mystery. A cold case. Wren Brady was slowly unraveling, and we were all sitting back and watching, including me. That is, until June 6th, 2014. Graduation Day." ~~~ I hope you enjoy! The chapter's are short, but that's just this books style. Sorry guys!

This was a story that me and my best friend wrote for an assignment in 8th grade. We were learning about "The Wild West" at the time so we wrote a tall tale. A tall tale is a story with unbelievable elements, related as if it were true and factual. Without futher ado, I present to you "The Exaggeration of Imagination: The Story of how Tod Miller Saved Dodge City." Tod Miller has an extraordinary fury if being able to imagine whatever he wants and it will appear before his eyes. His gift tends to get him into trouble, especially when him and his sister, Mary, enter Dodge City in search of gold. Cover design by @smhgraphics I hope you enjoy! :) P.S. My friend Browniegirl678 also wrote her tall tale. I forgot what it was called but you should check it out.
