Page 26-27
[Both these pages only have photographs. On page 26 are two horizontal images. The upper one is of Max, Lucas and El, the three of them have fallen asleep on the couch and Joyce is spreading a blanket over them with a fond smile. Empty cups that used to be filled with hot chocolate litter the table.]
Hot Coco Naps
Jonathan Byers, 1987
.
[The lower image is of Dustin and Lucas posing with a truly impressive snow man. They’re both bundled up and you can’t see anything past their eyes, nose and upper lip. Yet there is obvious pride in their creation. The snowball headed towards Dustin’s face is yet unseen by both.]
Mr. Snow Man
Jonathan Byers, 1987
.
[Page 27 has four photographs on it. The upper right one is of El and Max, facing each other and both holding sparklers, which illuminate their smiling faces.]
Sparking Smiles
Jonathan Byers, 1988
.
[The upper left photograph is made by a campfire. Steve is leaning against Robin, the two of them sitting sideways on a log, Robin with her arms around Steve’s neck. Eddie is feeding Steve a marshmallow.]
Campfire Treats
Jonathan Byers, 1988
.
[The lower left image is of a pile of people on a floor filled with mattresses. It is mostly a lump of blankets, but a head of curls peaks out of blankets at the side, Dustin. Erica is also clear, having just sat up and rubbing her eyes, a bonnet on her head and dressed in pajamas with hearts on them. Behind the pile of kids on the floor is Max on the couch, to be better supported, her crutches leaned against the wall next to her.]
January 1st 1988
Jonathan Byers, 1988
.
[On the lower right is an image of Mike and Will, they’re bend over a DnD guide together, seated on the love seat in the Hopper-Byers house. Mike is sitting normally, but Will has his legs over Mike’s, sitting sideways. Their foreheads are touchings and they seem to be deep into conversation.]
Talking Strategy
Jonathan Byers, 1988

“Gay people did exist in the ‘80s” I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame.
“No, they’re right” two people say from the corner. It’s the jazzercise instructor and photographer from Startcourt Mall.

“it’s unrealistic for so many of them to be gay”
shut up shut up shut UP every single person in my 3rd grade friend group turned out to be queer (except for one, the token straight guy) and there were EIGHT of us. queer people find each other, even if they don’t know they’re queer.
