"It's Margo Monkey!" Will Byers sat in front of the TV on his 10th birthday, holding his favorite stuffed animal close to his chest.
"Hey boys and girls! I hope you're having a good day! Today we're going to talk about my new friend Karl the T-rex!"
Will's eyes widened in amazement as he watches the scruffy blue dinosaur stomp onto screen.
"Well hey kids! I'm Karl!" Will's smile gets 5 times bigger as he waves at the screen "Do you have a Margo Monkey toy?"
Will nods at the screen, as he holds his toy close to it "Well how would you like a Karl T-Rex!"
Just then a big flash comes on screen revealing the Karl T-Rex toy, Will sits up and marvels at it.
"You can buy a Karl T-Rex at any JoyPlay location!" The image disappears and Will can once again see Margo and Karl.
"JoyPlay, where toys make your child's dreams come true!" The show ends and Will immediately turns to his mom.
"Mommy! I want a Karl T-Rex for my birthday!" Joyce smiles as she brings out a small piece of cake, one candle on top.
"Really sweetie? Another one of those toys from that JoyPlay place?" Will nods quickly as the two of them sit on the couch together.
"Please?" Joyce sighs, placing her hands on Wills shoulders and rubbing up and down "Maybe honey, but for now, blow out your candle and make a birthday wish!"
Will looks down with a smile, but soon his happy expression falters as he turns to his mom.
"Where's Jonathan?" Joyce sighs knowing that Jonathan hates being home, finding every excuse not to be there.
"He's out right now sweetie.." Will nods, slightly upset "Just me and you than..?" Joyce gives Will as saddened smile and nods.
"Yes sweetie, just me and you.." Will nods looking down at the cake, Joyce slowly singing him happy birthday.
"...Dear Will, happy birthday to you..." Will smiles before blowing out the candle, Joyce scoops him into a hug and kisses his forehead.
"Happy birthday baby.." Will smiles as he takes the candle out and digs into his cake.
After his small birthday party, he went to bed, but he was awoken by the sounds of his mother's screaming.
He curls up under his covers, He hates the sound, wishes he could do something about it.
But he couldn't, he was too weak.
The sound was unbearable, yet Will squeezed his eyes shut, he began to mumble to himself trying to soothe himself to sleep.
"Should I stay or should go? Should I stay or should I go now? Should I stay or should go..?"
