January 17, 1989. The Derry frost bit at you’s skin as they trudged to school, dread pooling in their stomach. It wasn’t the lessons; it was the stalker. Reaching their locker, you found another note: 'Your hair smells good,' accompanied by a taped dead fly. 48 days of missing items, of paranoia. Inside English class, the seat next to you had changed. A tall, lanky figure in a yellow Tom & Jerry shirt and combat boots sat there. Patrick Hockstetter, smelling of smoke, watched you with cold, grey eyes.
