A big thank you to StardustMaster for making the new cover!

NO ONE'S POV:

(We see Y/N in a tree.)

(Y/N): [yawns] Getting tired. Halloween's coming up, should be fun. I'll have a bowl of candy at the ready. Though, I doubt I'll be giving any kids candy because no one ever shows up at my house. Too far I suppose. More candy for me like the previous years.

(A deer walks under the tree he's in.)

(Y/N): [deep breath] Here goes.

*JUMP*

(He jumps down from the tree he's in & lands on the deer.)

Deer: [yelps]

(The deer tries to shake & buck Y/N off to no avail. Y/N sinks his claws into the deer & bites down on its neck.)

*CRACK*

(He breaks its neck in his jaws.)

(Y/N): [muffled breathing]

(He is now carrying the deer over his shoulders, on his way back to his house.)

(Y/N): Am I getting tired of deer? Not really. Should probably change it up though. Hunt some rabbit or squirrel? Catch a bird out of the air? [groans] I think I'll give Nancy and Steve some venison. Jonathan, too, if there's enough.

The Next Day

(We see Nancy & Steve in Hawkins High parking lot. She's reading over Steve's college entrance essay.)

Steve: It's crap, I know.

Nancy: No, it's not crap.

Steve: It's not good.

Nancy: It's going to be. Just...It needs some reorganizing.

Steve: [sighs]

Nancy: Can I mark on it?

Steve: Yeah, I guess.

Nancy: So, in the first paragraph, you used the basketball game vs Northern as a metaphor for your life, which is great. But then, around here, you start talking about your granddad's experiences in the war. And I...[stammers] I don't see how they're connected.

Steve: It connects because...because, you know, we both won.

Steve: Do you think I should start from scratch?

Nancy: No. I mean...When's the deadline?

Steve: It's tomorrow for early application. Can you come and help me tonight?

Nancy: We have our dinner tonight, remember?

Steve: Oh, my God!

Nancy: We already canceled last week. You don't have to go. Just work on this.
