   Summary

   Van hummed along to the radio as she sat in the passenger seat of Natalie's new car, eyes drifting between her friend in the driver's side to the road that seemed to stretch endlessly ahead. A rectangular maroon sign on the side of the road that read ‘Welcome to Hawkins’ caught her eye. They were nearing their destination, apparently.

    

   Hawkins, Indiana had sounded like a solid choice. Small town, the kind of place you'd look at and think probably a thousand different things before you thought “Yeah, a Yellowjacket would definitely come here,” and Natalie had an estranged uncle who lived there and offered to let them stay with him for the time being. The town had recently seen a bit of tragedy, with its mall burning down, but that just meant it was unlikely something bad would happen again anytime soon. Lightning never strikes the same place twice, right?
