Nineteen

I opened my closet door and reached for an empty puzzle box at the top of my closet. I pulled the box down and pried the lid off.

Instead of a pistol, there lay pieces to a puzzle.

"What the hell?" I asked. I took the box and went into Nancy's room.

She was looking frantically at the stuff around her room.

"Charlie, do you have yours?" She asked, picking up her diary.

"No, what is this about?" I looked at her as she flipped the pages.

"Holy shit," She cursed. "This diary is supposed to be full of entries. Instead it only has one date. The date Will went missing. We are in the past."

"That makes sense," I replied. "None of our stuff exists yet."

"I really thought Nance was gonna take down Vecna with heels," Robin said, holding up a pair of white pumps.

"And I really thought Char was gonna use puzzle pieces," Eddie said, pointing to the box still in my hand.

"Dustin! Dustin! Dustin!!" Steve screamed from downstairs. "Henserson, you little shit, I know you're here! Dustin, can you hear me Dustin?"

Nancy and I looked at each other before running down to the kitchen.

"Dustin! Hel-Hello?" Steve screamed.

"What the hell, Steve?" I looked at him.

"It's Henderson. I can hear him. It's like he's in the walls or something," Steve said.

"What are you talking about?" Nancy asked.

"Shhh!" Steve shushed us.

Warped sounding voices were echoing around us. "That brings us to the question you first raised..."

"This is some freaky shit," Eddie said.

"Dustin!" I shouted, walking around the house.

"Dustin!" Nancy yelled pacing the living room.

Eddie flipped a curtain to see if Dustin was hiding behind it. "Dustin?"

"Dustin!" Robin screamed.

"All right, either this kid can't hear us or he's being a total douche bag," Steve looked hopeless.

"Will found a way," Nancy said suddenly.

"What?" Steve asked.

"Will. He found a way to speak to Joyce through the lights," Nancy said. She walked over and started flicking switches on the wall.

"The switch. Try the switch," Steve pointed out for Nancy.

"Yeah, okay," She agreed. She flipped it a couple of times but nothing happened.

"Guys," Steve said. "You seeing this?"

I looked up to where his flashlight was pointing to see the chandelier in the hallway glowing.

Nancy approached it and stuck her hand in it. The noise coming from it sounded like energy pulsating.

"Woah," Eddie said. We all walked under the light and stuck our hands out to touch the light.

"It.... tickles," Steve said.

"It kinda feels good," Robin whispered.

"It's warm," I said, touching the sparkling stuff.

Nancy took her hand down. "Does anyone know morse code?"

"No," Robin, Steve and I said.

"Wait, does SOS count?" Eddie asked. "Is that... is that good?"
