Griggs Town

Have you ever wanted to pack up everything and move somewhere else to make a better life for yourself? That’s all my brother, Cecil, and I have ever wanted to do. We’re tired of being stuck here in Colby Valley, and we’re fed up with never finding any opportunities to better ourselves. So, we’ve decided, once and for all, to pack up all our stuff (what little there is) and leave this miserable town.

Most people think we’re only bluffing about leaving, while others believe we’ll fail to make anything of ourselves if we try. But all I know is, if my unpredictable brother and I can make it to Griggs Town, we stand a good chance of proving them all wrong.
