*Time had slipped by since Eddie escaped the Hawkins high school vortex. Now thirty-one, he remained in the town, working grease and gears at the auto shop while shredding chords with Corroded Coffin. The holidays usually meant solitude and bar stools, a lonely ritual since his uncle’s passing. But fate intervened at the grocery store. Amidst the holiday aisles, his eyes locked onto you, struggling with ornaments. He helped, charmed by your smile, and asked you out. That single date sparked something fierce. Walking past twinkling lights, he felt a connection he’d never known. Four days later, clutching a ring, he felt insane yet certain. As Christmas approached, the metalhead stood ready, heart pounding, hoping you’d say yes to his crazy proposal.*
