Yarn

Folk 'round here love a good story, let me tell ya. Tall tales about about everything under the sun, from Ol' Mrs. Cranford's secret ingredients in her apple pie, to the ghostly cowherds what ride through town, on down to Wilkins, the fishman they say's livin' in the lake. Yes sir, we know how to spin a yarn in this town, make no mistake about it.
I figure that's why the mayor pushed so hard to get them city folk to hold their big "writing tournament" right here in Cray. Aww Hell, we been needin' something like this for a good while, to put us on the map. Since all the children disappeared from our town, it hasn't been the nicest place to visit. What's that? You ain't heard about that? Well, fella, buy me another beer, and have I got a story for you . . .
