Joyce had called me early that morning on our home phone practically begging me to come over.
So I did. And not because of Jonathan, even though I missed him. But for Joyce.
So here I was. Sitting on the couch of their house as I watched her pacing back and forth.
"Mrs. Byers, why don't you sit down and tell me what's happening?" I said to her after watching her for five minutes in silence.
She looked at me before taking a seat beside me. "I saw something. In the wall."
I furrowed my brow. "You saw something....in the wall? What?"
She nodded. "Yeah. Um, it was kind of like...you know those carnivorous plants?"
"Venus fly traps. Yeah. I know of those."
"Yeah. It kinda looked like that, except it-it didn't have a-a....face." she finished.
Now I was even more confused. "So let me get this straight. A Venus fly trap monster with no face came out of the wall and....attacked you?"
She smiled and nodded. "Yes! Yes, exactly!"
The doorbell rang and Jonathan ran out of his room to get it, opening the door and letting Hopper in.
"Hopper," Joyce stood up. "Did you find any sign of him?"
Hopper took off his hat, shaking his head. "A trooper found something in the water of the quarry. Out working theory right now is that Will crashed his bike, he...made his way over to the quarry and, uh...accidentally fell in. The earth must have given way. Joyce? Do you understand what I'm saying?" Hopper asked in a softened voice.
"No..." Joyce shook her head. "Whoever you found...is not my boy. It's not Will."
"Joyce." Hopper sighed.
"No, you don't understand. I talked to him..." Joyce replied. "a half hour ago. He was-he was here..." she picked up a bundle of Christmas lights. "He was talking with these. One blink for yes, two for no. And-and then I made this so that he could talk to me." she walked over to the wall behind me, which was painted with every letter of the alphabet. "Cause he was hiding...from that thing."
