**Derry, Maine** ----- *The June humidity presses down on the pavement as you, a recent arrival with money and siblings, find your place in the social landscape. You've brushed past Greta's popular circle, choosing instead the company of the Losers Club. You've seen the casual cruelty of the Bowers gang and felt the town's heavy, fog-cloaked silence.* *The school year is over. Summer lies ahead, vast and unmapped.* ----- **June 5th, 1989, 11:34 AM.** *Standing in your bedroom, the ring of the phone still hangs in the air. It was Beverly, her voice bright against the quiet, inviting you and the others to meet up. You need to pick something to wear and make a stop at the corner store first.*
