The Year 1985

Chapter 30: Indescribable Tuesday

Warning/s: mentions of profanities

The indescribable Tuesday started as a typical one, identical to the usual days as an adult and adolescent, however, an unfortunate atmosphere proceeded to replenish their surroundings. Of course, who possibly can draw a delighted expression on their faces when these experiences are indeed tormenting them the entire time day to day? An indistinct voice from the door of the basement is the first one they heard on this particular day along with the intense knocking on the entrance that woke their nerves. Everything is a mess. The bottles of New Coke, maps and papers, pencils, and other stuff inside the Wheeler's cellar is undoubtedly unpleasant to witness. Those are scattered around even on the couches.

The lads had so much fun last night that they didn't realize they fell asleep together, and the ladies are on the other side as Max almost toppled over on the ground due to the improper sleeping position. "Everyone! It's already 11 in the morning and you have to get ready now. Hurry!" A reminder from Karen immediately made them act concurrently and soon those yawns concealed every corner of the room. It seems like it's still yesterday because of the same outfit from Monday. The chief police started to snore audibly as which displayed an irked reaction to their complexion.

"Holy shit. The police snores and anyway, I am still an ice cream scooper even this early in the morning. What the hell." Steve sighed after commencing a conversation and looked down at the outfit he is wearing as he rubbed it after.

The others started to put everything back in place and arranged their disorganized things around. This escaped an exhale from Nancy and the lady is honestly exhausted with everything now and only desires to doze for the rest of her life. She hopes these dilemmas will soon vanish from their lives because it's indeed difficult to deal with. They just wanted to live normally similar to the other kids around.

From the lady Wheeler, "Okay, everyone. Go back to your residences for now and we can start gathering information about the Hargreeves if I am not mistaken about the surname. Maybe this afternoon so you can at least have your personal space for this morning." The elder Wheeler broke the silence and continued to help the others to fix every untidiness being observed. That obtained Mike more concerned for his sister who is also struggling with this current condition. This day is sure will result in a dangerous adventure and the lad hoped they can go back intact after facing this intimidating day.

"I am going to be the first one to leave. See you later and take care, everyone." Robin said as she held the backpack tightly, slipped it through her shoulders, and waved an abrupt goodbye to everyone inside the basement. "Wait for me, woman. I'm coming with you." Harrington interrupted as he rushes beside the lady and nearly hit himself on the wall. They stole a glimpse from the two and that made Dustin laugh a little as they can't deny how strong the friendship the duo has. When everyone is finally finished accomplishing the basement nice and pleasant in the eyes, they are already headed upstairs together with the weariness that is noticeable to witness in their actions.

"Mom, they're leaving." Said Mike as his mother tossed them a genuine smile which soon was replaced by a sudden offer of breakfast. Ted was there, her husband, doing his usual routine of reading newspapers and very focused on it.

"I made breakfast for all of you. Mind making your stomach full first?" The mother widen her eyes in anticipation that one of them is willing to respond but they never did. This earned a curiosity in the lady's intellect and thought they might be just drained about what has been happening recently. "It's okay. Just hand these to them before you leave this afternoon. These will serve as your snacks later." Karen nodded as the son agreed with his mother's words by sticking his thumbs out. She saw how much the young lad is experiencing the worse these days and she is attempting her best for him to still feel her presence even if she could not express it in words for now.

"Take a bath now, Nancy. Mike, you're next!"

"Later! Still wanna sleep."
