One boy one bully one accident and one act of revenge. Stephen Inglis thought running away would help but that was not the solution the bullies at his school teased him for having a teddy bear. Stephen Inglis was not at all sporty at a prep school where sport was a key to popularity. He had joined a whole term late and he had found it hard to make friends he missed his family. He was nine and his father had said he would be fine. That was not what Stephen felt he felt a true outsider a stranger without a friend. Stephen Inglis had an opportunity to get revenge on one of his tormentors. He had to decide what to do. Should he try to save his enemy or should he let him perish? With his demise he could at least expect a silent grudging respect from the others and to be left alone. Did Hollister deserve to perish buried alive? One hundred and fifty boys one hundred and forty-nine happy one miserable did his happiness justify the taking of another life? Would he be a slave or would he be free?
