    Summary

    Mike hasn’t prayed since November, 1983. But nearly ten years and 800 miles away from the last time, staring up at the dark stain in the ceiling paint, Mike thinks: God, give me a sign.

    And then, the phone rings.

     

    or; New York City in 1992 is just as perpetually rainy as Hawkins was in 1987. Mike Wheeler, lonely creature that he is, is well accustomed to this. Will Byers, despite Mike's best efforts, is a beam of sunlight. Circling each other over the course of five years, Mike and Will figure out what it means to want to die, what it means to want to live, and what it means for the sun to follow a rainstorm.

    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au
