HAWKINS BLEEDING! CHAPTER TWENTY:
THE ATTACK

"The Mind Flayer" Dustin said, throwing the Dungeons and Dragon's book down on the kitchen table. Everyone but the Party looked at him in confusion. "What the hell is that?" Hopper asked
"It's a monster from an unknown dimension, it's so ancient that it doesn't even know it's true home"
"It enslaves races of other dimensions, by taking over there brains using its highly developed psionic powers"

"Oh my god, none of this is real. This is just a kids game"

"It's a manual, and it's not for kids, Alright and unless you know something that we don't this is the best metaphor"

"Analogy"

"Analogy, that's what your worried about? Fine, Analogy for understanding whatever the hell this is"

"Okay so this mind flamer thing-"

"Flayer, mind Flayer"

"Dustin" Steph said making him shut up

"What does it want?"

"To conquer us, basically, it believes it's the master race"

"Like the Germans" Steve said

"You mean the Nazi's?" Stephenie corrected Steve

"Yeah, yeah the Nazi's"

"Uh, ya if the natzis were from a different dimension totally, it views races like us as inferior to its self"

"It wants to spread to other dimensions"

"We are talking about the destruction of our world as we know it"

"That's great, that's great. Jesus" Steve said walking away

"Okay so this thing, is like the brain, controlling everything"

"Then If we kill it"

"We kill everything it controls"

"We win"

"theoretically"

"Okay so how to you kill this thing shoot it with fireballs or something" hopper said taking the book

"No. no, no fire, no fireballs.. you summon an undead army, because zombies you know, they don't have brains and the mind flayer it l-likes brains, it's just a game, it's just a game"

"What the hell are we doing here"

"I thought we were waiting for your military backup"

"We are!"

Stephenie was getting a headache from the yelling so she left to go sit with Will.
"Hey Will. I don't know if you can hear me, but I want to apologize, for not being there for you when you needed me, I feel horrible, but why didn't you tell me? I told you to tell me everything, to trust me."
She sat in silence

"How do we kill it?"

"He knows" everyone came over to Stephenie "if anyone knows how to destroy this thing it's Will" Stephenie said
