Stan groaned as he landed with a hard thump. the door above him slammed shut. he slowly sat up and froze. there was a little boy in a yellow jacket in front of him, he was missing an arm and dripping blood, it looked like...
"hello Stanley." the boy said quietly.
"G-Georgie?" Stan ask. the boy nodded and Stan looked him over.
"you're dead. relax." Georgie assured. Stan stood up, but he wasn't much taller than Georgie. he looked down and realized he was a kid again. his wrists were still bleeding.
"why am I...?" Stan ask.
"because. it's not time." Georgie replied. Stan was confused and looked around quickly.
"th-the club house?" Stan ask. Georgie nodded.
"I thought you'd feel better here. we have to wait for the others." Georgie said.
"th-the others?" Stan ask.
"Billy and Richie and Eddie and the other two. I never met them." Georgie said.
"wh-whats going on Georgie?" Stan ask paniced. Georgie explained to him quickly.
"and now, you're dead and you're stuck here until the others arrive." Georgie said.
"ho-how long have I been dead?" Stan ask.
"about two days.... I can tell you who dies next." Georgie said.
"h-huh?" Stan ask.
"it's Richie, trashmouth as you guys call him, he dies next. in about a day or so." Georgie said.
"but it's only been like 20 minutes." Stan said confused. Georgie shrugged.
"time here is confusing. you'll get used to it." Georgie said. he paused slightly and looked up. "it's almost Richie's time." Georgie added.
"wh-what? why? what happens?" Stan ask.
"he floats too." Georgie said looking away.
"P-Pennywise? ar-are you sure?" Stan ask. Georgie suddenly paused.
"thats not Richie." Georgie said sounding confused. "I'd move if I didn't want someone to fall on me." Georgie added looking at Stan. Stan moved quickly just as the door flew open and Eddie thumped onto the ground.
"how did he get here so fast?" Stan ask.
"I had to create the place for you. so he just fell right in, but it was supposed to be Richie. not Eddie." Georgie said. Eddie slowly sat up, his fanny pack shifted as he sat up. he rubbed his head. there was a giant hole through his stomach and back and he sat in a slowly growing pool of blood.
"wh-what...?" Eddie trailed.
"welcome Eddie. you're not supposed to be here. it's supposed to be Richie." Georgie said.
"I-I.... I couldn't let him die." Eddie said softly.
"he Eds." Stan said. Eddie looked confused.
"wh-what? you're bleeding! he's missing an arm!" Eddie cried scrambling up. he looked down. "I-I'm bleeding! whats going on!?" Eddie cried.
"its okay. you're dead. you saved Richie." Georgie said. Eddie nodded slightly looking around.
"wh-why am I 13 again?" Eddie ask.
"thats just how it works here." Stan mumbled. Eddie looked at Stan then Georgie.
"I don't like this." Eddie said.
