The Nethergrave is a science fiction short story written by Gloria Skurzynski. It tells the story of a young boy named Jeremy, who is struggling to fit in at his new school and make friends. One day, while searching for a place to be alone, Jeremy stumbles upon the Nethergrave, a mysterious virtual reality machine in the school's basement.
At first, Jeremy is skeptical about the Nethergrave and its claims to transport users to other worlds. But after being teased and bullied by his classmates, Jeremy decides to give it a try. As he enters the machine, he is transported to a beautiful, virtual world where he is finally able to be himself and make friends who accept him for who he is.
However, as Jeremy spends more and more time in the Nethergrave, he begins to neglect his responsibilities in the real world. He starts skipping school and ignoring his homework, and his grades start to suffer. When his parents discover what he has been doing, they confront him about his obsession with the Nethergrave and try to get him to stop using it.
Despite his initial reluctance, Jeremy eventually realizes that the Nethergrave is not a healthy escape from reality and that he needs to face his problems in the real world. He decides to disconnect from the machine and work on improving his relationships with his classmates and his grades.
The Nethergrave serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of relying too heavily on technology and escapism. It reminds readers that it is important to face our challenges and problems head-on, rather than trying to escape them through virtual reality or other forms of distraction. Ultimately, the story teaches us the value of facing our problems and working towards solving them, rather than seeking temporary escape in artificial worlds.
