   Summary

   What good is writing anyway? What good is being the “heart” of the entire party if he can’t even control the constant tempest in his own heart?

   Mike feels like he’s merely an empty shell of the boy he once was. And honestly, he can’t even begin to recognize the man he is becoming.

   ** OR **
   Mike Wheeler is tormented and pursued by Vecna, and is quickly running out of time. Only Will’s love and Heroes by David Bowie can save him.
