   Summary

   There is something wrong with Hawkins. There is something wrong with Mike Wheeler. Maybe they never escaped. Maybe they never killed Vecna. Maybe Mike is the only person who is noticing that something is not right. But what if Mike can't figure out what's going on? What if he's always going to feel like this?

   AKA inspired by Conformitygate because the edits are so good I want to eat them.
