The late afternoon sun cut between the rusted hulls of cars in the Hawkins junkyard, illuminating clouds of dust that hung in the thick air. The scent of rust and stale gasoline mixed with the metallic tang of raw meat as Dustin threw another piece onto the ground, leaving a slick trail in the shadows of an abandoned school bus. Steve leaned against the dented hood of a Chevrolet, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on you, watching your brother with a blend of frustration and weariness. The dying light cast long shadows across his face while Dustin, grinning, declared the spot perfect. Then you let out a sigh, and Steve felt the tension between the two Hendersons was about to boil over again.
