SUMMER 1989
HANLON FARM

In a farm on the edge of town; a herd of sheep are in the barn; a farm worker pushes one of them forward towards a tall child.

The boy points a bolt gun at the defenceless animal.

"Pull it, Mike. Go on now, pull it." an old man urges

Mike lifts the gun and the old man takes it, shooting the sheep in the process

"Here, reload it. You need to start taking more responsibility around here, Mike. Your dad was younger than you when he took--"

"I'm not my dad, okay?" Mike snaps

"Yeah. Look at me, son. Look at me! There are two places you can be in this world. You can be out here like us or you can be in there, like them. You waste time hemming and hawing, and someone else is gonna make that choice for you. Except you won't know it, until you feel that bolt between your eyes."

A farm worker lifts another gate and the process starts again

DERRY HIGH SCHOOL

(Y/n) and the boys are walking out of class and Eddie says over the noise of the hallway "So, there's this church full of Jews, right? And Stan has to take this super Jewy test."

"But how's it work?" Bill says

"They cut the tip of his dick off." Eddie deadpans shrugging

"But then Stan will have nothing left!" Richie and (Y/n) say high fiving eachother

"That's true." Eddie mutters

"Wait up, you guys!" Stanley shouts running after them

"H-Hey, Stan, what huh-happens at the B-Bar Mitzvah, anyways? Ed says t-they slice the t-tuh-tip of your d-dick off."

"Yeah, and I think the rabbi's gonna pull down your pants" Richie starts nudging (Y/n)

"Turn to the crowd and say "Where's the beef?"" they finish making everyone laugh

"At the Bar Mitzvah, I read from the Torah, and then I make a speech and suddenly, I become a man." Stan corrects

"That sounds boring as hell." (Y/n) says

"Plus I'm sure Rich can think of funner ways to become a man." they say smirking

"'More fun' you mean." Stan says correcting (Y/n)

"Yeah! Wait what..?" Richie asks

"Oh, shit." the little club go past Henry Bowers and his minions; consisting of Belch Huggins, Victor Criss and Patrick Hocksetter.

"Think they'll sign my yearbook? 'Dear Richie, sorry for taking a hot, steaming dump in your backpack last March. Have a good summer.'" H
