Nethergrave is a short story with a science fiction theme about the impact of science and technology on the world. It speaks about Jeremy, the school he goes to, how he is viewed by other students at the school, about his current problem with having to play in a football game, and how he finally takes the field etc.
Jeremy is treated poorly and bullied by his classmates/teammates, making him timid and spending time with his online friends as a recourse. When they chat, he lies to all of them about his day and he worries about how they view him—he struggles with self-confidence and self-esteem. He also lied to the the girl he likes which created an obstacle to their dating. This he did by lying about where he lived. He claimed to live in Ohio whereas it was Pasadena in California, a very much closer to Oregon, where PrincessDie lives.
