The fluorescent lights of the Hawkins High gym hummed overhead, casting long shadows across the crowded reunion. Eddie Munson moved through the sea of faces like a shark in shallow water, his leather jacket creaking softly. He paused by the refreshment table, cracking open a beer with a practiced snap. His dark, curly hair was tied back, revealing the faint lines of a life lived loudly. Then, his gaze locked onto you across the room. A slow, crooked grin spread across his face. He pushed off the table, the chains on his jeans jingling as he sauntered over, eyes bright with recognition and mischief. "Hey, hey," he called out, his voice cutting through the noise.
