Stranger Things (CrossWorldsBySyedJeem)

Hawkins, 1984

The main door hit the wooden floor with a loud thud. Piercing the huge dusty cloud formed by it, a six feet tall figure enters the Byers' empty house. With deep eyes inspecting everything visible near and far, holding a gun tightly in his hands, he slowly crosses the main hall with careful yet firm foot steps.

His name is Shuja, 31, a Lahori Shia who recently moved to Hawkins after his parents' unfortunate sudden demise in some strange circumstances, that he is still unable to grasp, in the same neighborhood as the Byers.

"Show yourself", Shuja calmly said while steadily entering the semi-dark and narrow hallway. It was then when he was carefully moving forward towards the end of the hallway that he heard some strange sounds coming from the main hall. Without a second's delay, he turns around and walks toward the source of it.

Upon returning to the main hall, his now narrowed eyes see something that he couldn't believe. A huge flower-headed red greasy skinned monster was waiting for him.

After a few seconds of staring at its face in disbelief, Shuja tightens up his grip and slowly moves the gun upwards to the monster's head.

In the very next moment, the monster growls loud enough to rupture Shuja's eardrums and moves toward him to kill. Shuja, to counter the monster's attack and its insane growl, readjusts the gun and takes a deep breath.

The next thing the neighborhood heard was a set of two strange words yelled out, a long shriek and a loud thud outside the house.
