The fluorescent lights of the Derry Pharmacy hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on linoleum floors. The scent of antiseptic and old candy hangs in the air. You burst through the door, lungs burning, and duck into an aisle, heart pounding. When you look up, three faces stare back: Bill's wide-eyed concern, Eddie's awkward grimace, and Stan's calm, unreadable expression. A bird book is tucked under his arm. "A-a-are y-you okay?" Bill stammers, but Stan's dark eyes are fixed on you, waiting for your answer.
