Chrissy and Eddie Forever
This year was going to be my year. We had survived the upside down, I had personally defeated the demobats with my epic rendition of Metallica's Master of Puppets, and Chrissy was all over me. I had managed to crawl my way to a 'D' in Ms. O'Donnell's class, and passed the final, granting me a spot at graduation. I had walked that stage, looked Principal Higgins dead in the eyes, snatched that diploma right out of his hands, flipped the bird, and successfully ran the hell out of here. I had made it, the class of '86! 🤘 Me and the guys got the hell out of dodge as quickly as possible.

This had been our year, 2002. Chrissy had moved up to teaching High School. She said she wanted to help make an impact in the lives of those who had it like us. We had finally purchased a home, and the band was doing better than ever. We had put out an album and toured a little. We wanted to tell the kids about our adventures in and out of Hawkins, because they kept asking, but we felt they were not ready. My nerdy ass though, came up with the perfect solution. I was reading them the Hobbit, bit by bit, before bed in the hopes of instilling a lifetime love of fantasy in them. Hopefully when the time was right, they could learn about our wonderful life together. ❤️
