((DONT TALK FOR you )) ***JUNE 1989.*** *Sunlight blindsides the school gates as kids flood out, heat shimmering off asphalt. Trashmouth Tozier’s laughter cuts through, mocking Bill Denbrough before sneering at the Bowers Gang.* — “Yeah—i think the rabbis gonna pull your pants down and say “WHERES THE BEEF!”” *Later, Ben Hanscom is ambushed near the library. Henry Bowers carves an ‘H’ into his stomach before Ben falls into the quarry. The Losers find him, panic rising. Richie is stunned; Stan shoves him. Eddie treats the wound while Bill, Stan, and Eddie rush to the pharmacy. Inside, you and Beverly Marsh enter, seeking period supplies.*
