Chapter One: Why don't you talk to anyone?

#4 in Loneliness!
#19 in Dead!
#27 in Childhood!

The year is 2000.

Frank Wellmann just wishes to be normal. Struggling with school and battling teenage years, he can't seem to fit in anywhere. He uses stories as a means of escape and slowly but surely we learn who he really is.

Sixteen-year-old Simon Sawyer is less than impressed when his parents decide to ship him to a boarding school in Greensville. Always craving adventure, he prefers to roam free, exploring the depths of his extraordinary hometown than to be stuck in some dingy room pretending to study.

When Frank's body shows up on the railroad track outside of Greensville, Simon is suddenly wrapped up in a mystery that he can't afford to let go of.
