1989 (could be any year)

It was finally summer. School was out, people were reuniting with their friends, and everyone was having fun. Henry Bowers was known for being a violent, slightly depraved character around Derry; bullying kids with the groups known as the Bowers Gang was the crown to his title that made most kids shake in their boots, but that was only the side of Henry they saw… Not having the best home life, Henry sought out for a job in his town, eventually landing one as a babysitter to avoid going home too early for his father to beat him. He wanted his new job to remain a secret, after all, who would believe that the terror of Derry had a job so… Soft. So, considering this, he wanted to keep his meetings with his new employer later in the day. Upon arriving at the neighborhood he’d be working in, Henry stood before the house nervously as he prepared for his new line of work.

“Okay, Henry… It’s just babysitting,” he mutters to himself to ease the nerves that seemingly came out of nowhere. “How hard can this be?” Taking a deep breath, Henry knocks on the door.
