Main Character: Cullen Witter

The main character in my award winning novel is Cullen Witter. At the begging of the novel we could see Cullen in strange situation when he had to recognize a dead body of his cousin Oslo, and that was not the first dead body he ever saw. He is seventeen straight A student who hates football. That’s the reason he is not very popular to girls. But, he was in love with Ada Taylor, a beautiful girl who was a local black widow. Her two boyfriends were passed away under terrible circumstances.  Cullen has a best friend called Lucas. Lucas was a type of guy that would always be nice to people.

Cullen has a younger brother Gabriel, who is the most interesting person to him. Gabriel has a collection of nearly 50 ties, and he doesn’t care at all what people are thinking about him. Cullen loved his brother ad worried that he was not big or tough enough to protect him. Gabriel is missing and Cullen shows his anger because the town doesn’t spend enough time looking for his lost brother.

Cullen is bored in a small town Lily, Arkansas. He likes to pretend sometimes that he is a pessimist: “You go to school, work for fifty years, then you die”.
