Richie stood in front of the doll of him, it was rotting and had maggots all over it. Next to the doll laid a missing poster of him with the word "Found" stamped onto it... He knows it isn't real. He was just being threatened by Pennywise again...

That's when he suddenly felt someone put him into a choke hold, he looked down and saw the shoes of someone he knew all too well... They were your shoes, of course!
