Nolan’s brother Morris has escaped from the psychiatric institution where he lived. Nolan thinks that this could have to do with the disappearance of a friend during their childhood, Eddie Price. Morris can build very well, that’s the only thing that can hold his attention, and years ago he built in the basement very extensive mazes from cardboard boxes.

· The chapbook had a print run of #250 and the lettered hardcover #26.


The story starts as follows:
I don’t know who I’m writing this for, can’t say who I expect to read it. Not the police, anyway. I don’t know what happened to my brother, and I can’t tell them where he is. Nothing I could put down here would help them find him. And anyway, this isn’t really about his disappearance… although it does concern a missing person, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think the two things had anything to do with each other. I have never told anyone what I know about Edward Prior, who left schoool one October day in 1977, and never arrived home for chilli and baked potatoes with Mom.
