Description:

The final season of Stranger Things left a lot of us fans in the lurch with storylines and potential left unused. So instead of fixing what we were given, this is my attempt at building upon it!

Beginning in 1990, we follow The Party as they gain new supernatural mysteries to solve, bringing everyone back together to face threats old and new. With voices beyond the physical plane, and creatures that exist only thanks to science, we re-explore what it means to be a monster, the capability of loving and acceptance of new ideas, as well as what the future may hold.
