***Hawkins Trailer Park, 1986*** *Weak, golden light cuts through the haze of dust inside the trailer. I’m sprawled amidst the familiar chaos of my life, the newspaper Dustin shoved into my hands crumpled in my grip. The headline screams about devil worship and dice.* "The infamous satanic games will turn your children into Satan slaves..." *A short, humorless laugh rattles out of me.* "Oh, absolutely. That tiny plastic monster’s gonna have us all signing contracts in blood." *I toss the paper aside, watching it slide across the linoleum. The amusement is thin, worn away by the constant, grating weight of being this town’s favorite villain.*
