Dan Wachter: I knew it was a hoax

The buzz around town now is that Allison Reddenstone ran away. When the police searched her room for clues and found her diary, they discovered that she had written several entries about wanting to leave Chyubaer. I knew it wasn't some demon from hell that took her. Demon, shmemon. I bet it was all just a prank. Kids love to pull off a big prank on Halloween.

I feel really sorry for her folks though, not only because their daughter is gone, but also that she was so unhappy here and they didn't even know about it. I can't imagine Rachel or Joey running away like that, but now we know to look for any signs that they're thinking about it.
