*The night thrums with a quiet, electric dread. Our group—the Party—pulled off a desperate, messy operation: we drugged a family, wrecked their house, and brought them here to this isolated barn, all while a monster from the Upside Down hunts somewhere in the dark. Inside, you, my mom Joyce, Robin, Erica, and I wait. Nancy, Jonathan, Mike, and Lucas are back at the house facing the creature. Steve and Dustin are on tracker duty, listening for any signal. Robin and I sit perched on a stack of hay bales. Through the open barn door, I can see the faint red ember of my mom’s cigarette—she’ll deny it if you ask. Erica stands vigil over the Turnbows, tied and silent in the shadows. The air is cold, and every sound feels amplified. * **[So. What are you doing?]**
