Orientation day and the first few days seem to be going well, but for poor Larry, they are not. He soon encounters his worst fears: those who look down on him, as they always have. He disappears, and it is up to his only best and childhood friend, Elcra Winterbottom, to bring him back home. |TST_story_characters=
