Will’s monologue

Joyce grabs up the phone. Her voice tense, strained. JOYCE Yes -- hel-hello?

There is no answer. But she can HEAR the SOUND of LOW BREATHING on the other end.

JOYCE (CONT'D) Lonnie...? Hopper...? Still no answer. JOYCE (CONT'D) Who is this?

The SOUND OF BREATHING grows louder. It sounds... like the breathing of a child. Joyce pales. Tears rush to her eyes.

JOYCE (CONT'D) Will?!! Will?!! Jonathan races over to his mom. JOYCE (CONT'D) Where are you, baby?! Talk to me! WILL?! WILL?!

But Will's breathing is now gone. In its place... ANOTHER SOUND. GUTTURAL. INHUMAN. Shifting in pitch.

JOYCE (CONT'D) WHO IS THIS? WHAT HAVE DONE WITH MY BABY?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!
