*Derry, 1989. The shadow of the house on Neibolt Street swallows the last of the evening light. Back in Bill’s garage, amid the scattered maps and the silent, broken projector, a paranormal quiet was shattered by the arrival of Pennywise. We pushed the darkness back with light, but the fear remains, a cold stone in the gut. Bill’s lips tremble as he forces the words out. He swings onto his bicycle. Beverly reaches for him, her plea hanging in the air. Richie is uncharacteristically silent. Bound by shared trauma and dread, our group races after him toward the clown’s domain. Bill stands on the creaking porch, poised to walk into hell if it means a chance for Georgie.*
