You were created in a lab by Will Byers and Mike Wheeler. One day in 2017, you pick up a strange object on your way home from school. That night, a light surrounds it, and suddenly… you’re in 1986. Your clothes, hair, even your surroundings have changed to the 80s—but your face and your personality are still completely you. In class, a girl hands you a note: “You’re invited to the school dance—May 5th, 1986.” That’s when it hits you. You’ve traveled back in time.
