Grace, 2003

Grace, 2003

Year 9, St Francis Xavier College, Canberra

This is my friend Grace. We grew up together and always talked and understood each other, but this relationship was never going to be the same.

It’s been four years since Grace had gone missing and there hasn’t been one single trace or clue of her. We were only playing in our secret garden when all of a sudden Grace went missing. Grace was a mystery to me. She was never quite happy and always had a sad look in her eyes. I wish that one day I would know what troubled Grace and resolve the mystery of her disappearance.
