    Summary

    But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.

    Mike froze.

    Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.

    “Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”

    Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

    Will Byers was never found Au

    Summary

    He sits at his desk and thinks to himself about the story he can never tell.

    It isn't the story of the mage; that, perhaps, is the easiest story to tell. An acceptable one, a story of love and loss, of power and politics, of magic and monsters.

    The stories he grew up on are the same stories he's doomed to tell now. Of supernatural entities and learned helplessness.

    No, the story he can never tell is one he's never seen or read before. One that could never have a happy ending.

    It goes like this:

    Four boys playing a tabletop role-playing game in a basement. Loud, chaotic, wild. There is a distinct air of youth surrounding them. They are untouched by trauma and unharmed by life.

    or

    mike wheeler, grief, and the (love) story he cannot tell.

    Summary

    In the name of focusing on his novel, Mike began to skimp out on his outings with Will.

    Will, having walked to the arcade alone, greeted Lucas and Max. Suddenly, Max dropped the biggest bomb: She hadn’t seen Mike at work for the past two weeks.

    What had Mike been doing all day, alone?

    Or,

    Mike’s been keeping secrets. When Will walks back to their apartment, he finds out what they are. What Will didn’t know, is that they’d make a fucked secret of their own.

    Summary

    Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.

    "Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”

    Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.

    Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.

    Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.
