   Summary

   The Will Byers we know gets kidnapped, possessed, traumatized, and shipped to the opposite side of the country.
   But what if, before all that, little 8 year old Eleven decides to stay with Henry? That one choice changes Will's destiny forever.
   Now murders, mysterious and brutal, plague Hawkins and the boy who should've gone missing, instead learns that he has more power than he could've ever dreamed.
