Fun fact about Stockton Myers, the writer of Sunrise Stories.

Stockton has begun packing for his upcoming move. He doesn't know exactly when he’ll be moving out, but he knows for sure that he’ll be in by the end of August at the latest. The thing Stockton’s most looking forward to about the new place is having a garage. He’s never been able to clean his car, and have it stay that way because he’s always parked outside.

Happy Wednesday!
