The Girl Who Could Fly

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The Girl Who Could Fly starts out in with your typical farm girl in your typical Midwestern town. Her hobbies include milking cows, speaking in a Funetik Aksent, and practicing her flying skills. Wait, what?

Luckily, she succeeds.
