The Old Wives Tale Owl

Old wives tales were always a fascination of my hometown. In fact, it seemed almost cult-like how everyone truly believed in them. When I graduated from high school, I left with no intentions of returning. There was nothing for me in Millston, the remarkably small town of about three hundred residents. My soul was burning for something more passionate in life. I was eager to leave it all behind and start an adventurous life doing anything new.
