The Dragon Piñata
Chapter 1
"There weren't always dragons in the Valley," My papa read aloud from Gabriel’s story book.
Gabe sat wide-eyed and cross-legged, with a fake wooden sword given to the most noble knights of Salinas, CA . It was almost noon, and the sun was blaring intensely as my family set up the birthday decorations. The grass moved slowly, and the soft hum of the summer bugs brought a tranquil contrast to the commotion on our porch.
