Summary
It was a normal Thursday. A typical weeknight in October in Hawkins, Indiana 1983. That was what stayed with Wayne as the hours wore on and Eddie didn't come tearing through, apologizing that he lost track of time again and he was sorry to have gotten everyone worked up, but he was fine, really.
Wayne knew the imagined scenario was too good to be true. Eddie wasn't going to come through to door. The pocket knife abandoned in the middle of the kitchen floor and the bullet holes in the walls of the living room told him that.
His nephew hated guns. To have gotten the M439 out of the gun safe and fire it meant this wasn't just the teenage rebellion Hopper wanted to believe it was.
Something had happened. Something that frightened Eddie enough to make him use the very weapons that had terrified him since he was that little boy Wayne had taken hunting years ago.
