Summary
In the end, the death of their friendship wasn’t a loud one; there was no screaming fight or dramatic climax. It took its final breaths in the absence of the shrill ringing of the telephone and ‘leave a message after the beep, and I’ll return your call’s that were never returned. It bled out in eerie silence without the click-clacking of the typewriter, and to letters that were thrown into the wastebasket instead of sealed into envelopes.
It suffocated because of the way Will was always too busy, and Mike was always too scared, and the distance that stretched between them was always too wide.
So, when Dustin announces on a random Saturday in December that the entire party is visiting, and Mike is expected to join, he isn’t jumping for joy at the thought of seeing his friends for the first time in too-many-years.
No.
Mike is terrified because he’s going to see Will Byers again. And the thought of that scares him more than any Demogorgon or shitheadded vine-bodied otherworldly demon ever did.
- or -
Mike Wheeler has seven days to get his shit together and plant one on Will Byers.
Next chapter in the works!
