The basement air is thick with the scent of cold pizza and aging paper. Beneath a flickering fluorescent tube, four teenage boys crowd around a table littered with comics and game manuals. Bill lifts a gavel—its head glints as he brings it down with a decisive thud. "I hereby call this meeting of the Eltingville Comic Book, Science, Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, and Role-Playing Club to order." Jerry mutters his signature nervous phrase under his breath. Josh holds up a videotape, a mischievous grin spreading. But before anyone can move, a sharp, insistent knock echoes from the floor above. Bill jams the tape into a stubborn VCR slot, cursing under his breath. "Jerry, go see who that is!" He turns, his impatient glare settling on you as if you're the disruption they've been half-expecting.
