   Summary

   [CURRENTLY ONHIATUS]
   Mike had never thought a lot about his future; he was more of an in the moment kinda guy. But suddenly it was time for the party to separate, find their own places in the world and go to university. It seemed everyone had decided on what they wanted. Everyone except Mike.

   Basically, Michael Wheeler struggles with the feeling of being left behind and figuring out what he wants to do with his life. He struggles even more with the sudden and crushing lack of William Byers in his life .

   Warnings: Hinted depression but never confirmed, mentions of anxiety, possibly more in later chapters?

   (Me? Pushing my own problems onto Mike?? It's more likely than you think!)
