Though I must admit that I tend to take a bit of literary license in my writing, each story is based on an actual event. Sometimes the stranger stories are the ones that are stretched the least. As people often say, truth is stranger than fiction. I also want to note that some of the names have been changed to protect the anonymity of the individuals. Daris Howard
