The Mysterious Disappearance of Aiden S (As Told To His Brother)

Aiden disappeared for 6 days.  There was no trace.  His family and friends searched everywhere.  Then he reappeared in the attic with a strange story.  He said he had gone through the dresser into a land called Aveinieu but was sent back because the people there thought he might carry a disease.  But his story was unbelievable right and no one believed him.  So what does he do?  Continue to tell the story or make something up that people might believe?
