We Search in Vain

We were confused. If Albert Lee had been missing since 1978 where were the cards coming from? And why had we never heard of anyone getting a card before? It seemed like somebody would have started some kind of ghost story rumor, or something about Albert Lee and his mysterious cards. We decided that the first place to check would be Albert Lee's house where he had lived during his time at WVU and the last place he was known to have been. Amy and I walked through the streets of South Park looking for the address we had found on the Internet, but we just couldn't find it. 715 Park Street didn't seem to exist. In fact it seemed to have been skipped altogether. We walked up and down Park Street; 711, 713, and 717 were all we saw. In between 714 and 716 was only a grassy hill, barely big enough for a driveway let alone a house.
"Maybe the site was wrong...?" Amy asked me as we stood, once again, in front of the spot where Albert's house should have stood.
"Maybe." I replied. "But, doesn't it seem strange that there is no 715? Almost like it had been here and it just..."
"Disappeared?" Amy finished. We both stared into the grassy hill wondering if maybe Albert Lee's disappearance was more of a mystery than we could imagine.
