"You always look at me like that," he says quietly. I smile. "Like what?" "Like you know exactly what you're doing."

He doesn't take you by force. He takes you because he can't stop thinking about you. In the mind-world of the Creel House, Henry Creel does not collect people at random. He chooses you - older, aware, inconveniently perceptive - and keeps you close in ways that feel deliberate, long before they feel frightening. The children come later. They are easier. They believe what they're told. You don't. That's the problem. Henry calls it interest. Curiosity. A necessary fixation. But the truth is simpler and far more dangerous: you make him feel exposed. Seen. Real. And he resents you for it almost as much as he wants you there. He doesn't need your help with the children. He needs you to stay. This is a story about obsession that breeds control, about vulnerability used as leverage, about a monster who does not want to love - but does not know how to stop choosing you. This is a psychological descent where protection becomes possession, tenderness becomes strategy, and the most terrifying question is not how do you escape - but why haven't you tried.

Disclaimer ( Henry will be younger for the sake of this story) I never thought I would be back in Indiana let alone Hawkins, but I can't ignore the feeling that has been calling me back here. It's been getting stronger as the years went by, and if It's one thing I'm sure of, it is that I have to face him now. With each mile back home I feel him, his anger, his hate, his devotion to darkness. Henry was always troubled but he trusted me, and I betrayed him. Sooner or later I would be met with the consequences of my actions, now being the later. (Henry Creel X Fem!OC) #Henry Creel, #Peter Ballard, #001, #Mr. Whats-it

And for the first time since the world had broken him, Henry chose not to destroy what he found

"We've known each other longer than you think, love." There is no God in the Hawkins National Laboratory. Josephine Brenner was sure of it. Reflective white tiles feigning purity shielded any divinity to reach the non-believer. But there was an angel. Clad in white fabric, adorned with a golden halo built by strands of the finest silk. His touch reconstructed her veins, his voice coaxing her once covered ears like sweet honey. An angel fallen, she was sure of it. But there's a bitter side to all of us, isn't there? @imadethisasajoke.69 on tiktok, I post updates about the story there :) Also join my discord server!
