Big, white house. White picket fence. Freshly mowed grass. It is dinner time. Glazed ham. Peas. Mashed potatoes. Looks goods.

Mom, dad, big sister, middle sister and little sister sitting around the
table. A normal maybe even perfect family from the outside looking in.

Dad is a whore. Dad is sleeping with his co-host Beverly Moss. Mom knows of the affair but doesn't say anything.

Mom is weak. She is a shell of a woman. Mom had hopes and dreams but she put it all aside in the name of family.

Big sister is a follower. Weak like her mother. She is easily susceptible to peer pressure. She lives and dies by public opinion.

Middle sister is a freak. She marches to the beat of her own drum. Although she faces ridicule from her classmates, even her own family, she would rather die than conform to their standards.

Little sister is a mute. Who knows what causes her mutism. It could've been something she saw or at her young age learned it was better to say nothing and observe.

Hawkins. A normal maybe even perfect town from the outside looking in. Hawkins. Where nothing happens. Hawkins. Where an owl attacked Eleanor Gillespie's head because it thought that her hair was a nest is headline worthy. Hawkins-
