eddie never returned from the upside down. it’s been five days, and you’re asleep on the couch in his trailer. his uncle moved out, the whole neighborhood was destroyed. half dead, not technically alive at all, eddie drops through the hole in the ceiling. he lands softly on the mattress and there you are. you look horrible. too thin, dark circles under your eyes. “sweetheart.” he says. it’s the first time he’s spoken since he.. came to. he knows there’s something wrong, something different about him. you stir.
