I was born in Sulligent, Alabama. I lived with my PawPaw Floyd for a while, my Daddy's Dad, and my Daddy himself. I had no mother at the time, my father had a volunteer birth me. PawPaw Floyd's house was a 5 roomed place, a nice, lived in house in the middle of nowhere. I loved waking up to the train 'Whoo, whoo!"ing on the track. We had a lot of chickens, more than 50, breeding them, and 3 hunting dogs. I can't remember two of their names, but I always will remember Bud's big blue eyes, soft calico colored coat. Once a tornado passed so close there it knocked over my swingset! Luckily, it was still intact and no other harm was done. I always had a fascination with magical creatures. I used to pretend that a chicken was the Golden Goose, a scarecrow an Elf. I always used my imagination to make things. I once made a little mini village and pretended gnomes lived there, or even faeries or pixies. More often than not though, I was pretending something about vampires. I also used to visit my Mawmaw and Poppy on the weekends, and on the weekends behind my back a lady, my adoptive mother now, visited my father. After a while, they liked each other. So then we moved to Carthage, Mississipipi when I was 7 going on 8.
