Christopher Creed had trouble getting along with other people. None of his fellow Steepleton High School students liked him. Everyone considered him weird. Chris knew it and one day he just disappeared.
He had left a note. But was it a suicide note? Nobody was quite sure.
The dislike of Christopher Creed had run deep, and the fine students at Steepleton had let him know how much he irritated them, sometimes with a remark and sometimes with a fist. But certainly they weren't to blame for his disappearance, somebody or something else must be at fault.
But as time wore on and he didn't turn up, everybody had the same nagging questions. Was he dead or alive? And if he was alive, why had he run away? And if he wasn't alive, had he committed suicide or been murdered? And, most of all, if he was dead were was the body?
