Music has always been such a calming notion, a simple melody flowing through your walkman as you ignore every issue society flings at you. Well, almost every situation.
Everywhere you went in this sweet, quiet town of Denver a slightly yellow-tinted piece of paper rwminded you of the young boy who went missing. This time, stapled over Billy's pleas for help, was Griffen Stagg. A thirteen year old boy who was invisible before the town pretended to care for him when someone took him away from his quiet, unnoticed family.
"Zach! Zachary! Oh my god are you even listening to me dumbass?"

I would like to mention I am NOT romanticising kidnapping or the situation. I wrote this since the movie/book isn't written about a real event and wanted to shed more light onto what could've happened to the other victims without dumping it onto them and changing their story line.
