Kai WillowSome stories are bad, but yours are criminal! They're words no budding author wants to hear, and for Kai Willow, they came close to becoming reality. The first grader loved narrating tales to anyone who'd listen, until his audience started to flee atthe first mention of a new story and Kai realized he needed to find a fresh crowd.

After receiving a stern talking to, Kai let the dispatchers return to their jobs and committed his stories to pen and paper. He realized the power and potential of storytelling when he stumbled across a quote by Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club. We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
