Summary
It's November sixth. Seven years ago, Mike’s world went to shit in the woods outside Hawkins Laboratory. For three years, his life was a bloody, twisted wreck with a hell of a lot of casualties. Somehow, this just feels like another extension of that, like the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be a train, and it’s bearing down on him at full speed while he’s just standing there and letting it.
Seven years ago today, Mike Wheeler lost his best friend, and then he lost himself.
November 6, 1990, in the corner of a crowded room with another boy’s hands in his hair, he feels like maybe, just maybe, he’s finally got a little bit of himself back. He doesn’t know if it’s a part that’s worth keeping, is all.
