Town days

Walking around the city today everything seems especially dead and down. No one is out, nothing seems to be going on, but not to any big surprise. As I was on my stroll I pass by Dave’s meat shop and see him standing behind the counter. He looked depressed but didn’t everyone in this town. I notice him glaring at some thing, I turn and see a kid on the side walk selling lemonade. Well at least the youth had some spirit in this town. Suddenly I hear yelling in the background. I turn to walk toward it. It’s a couple fighting. I can’t make out who it is. I try to listen. They are talking to fast for me to make out what they are saying. It comes to a stop. They break apart and go in opposite directions. In a split second, it is as if nothing was going on, and I seem to be the only one who has witnessed what happened. I feel like that happens a lot in this town, which makes reporting in the town worth while and that much more difficult. I may be the only reporter but when no one else can tell me what happened it’s hard to make it believable.

Hello !!

Welcome to Wilshire Tower! I’m Courtney Red. I bet you are wondering how I got such an interesting name. Well you see, I have these red boots that I wear almost every day. People can always tell when I’m coming because of them. They have the most districted click clack. This can be kinda tricky sometimes though, because when I’m trying to be sneaky it is very hard. You see I’m a reporter in this small jacked up town. I’m the only person bringing in any sort of news into this town. I report everything that happens. I have all the gossip, all the fights, all the secrets that go on in this town. People don’t know it but I’m always watching. I live in the apartment, with most of the rest of the town. I’m door 323, so if you ever have any information to spread make sure you come to my door. I’ve lived in this town since I can remember and don’t ever really see a way of leaving. But with all the information I have on this town, I plan on writing a book someday and putting us on the map. That's my dream for this town.
