Howdy Kyle,
Writing fiction requires "fictional imagination". By reading your comments,
you are suggesting injecting truth to make it believable...
That's not the way to tell a story at the Dime Box saloon best liar's
contest. If you can't come up with a totally unbelievable lie.. just stay
home.
Last year's contest was won by a farmer told a story about a dry year in
west Texas.. so dry he had to run his windmill for water.. there was so
little wind that he tried taking off all but one blade off the windmill,
didn't help.. tried sheep grazing off the pasture.. didn't help... fiinally
out of frustration he took the top two strands off the bobwire fence to get
enough wind to turn the windmill..
What was the contest prize?? In Texas, we send the best lairs to congress
where they can do us the most good.
