    Summary

    Suddenly, Mike is twelve, teetering on the edge of the quarry. Maybe tomorrow the paramedics will pull him from the same exact place they found Will's body. It’s a comforting thought, morbidly enough. To be with Will again. 

    “You should have jumped,” the voice echoes. “You should’ve just jumped.”

    or: Vecna gives Mike Wheeler a no good, very bad evening.
