   Summary

   Will Byers is dead. He got lost one night and fell down a cliff, drowned to death. Such a tragedy, nobody is able to ever truly forget about it or the poor boy who lived it. His friends and family never even go near that cliff out of the pure agony that comes with it.

   They all remember him. His sweet toothy smile, his big shiny eyes. His kindness, his shyness,… his pain. Everyone remembers. Everyone but him.

   What if Will Byers was never rescued, and presumed dead?
