Mr Whatsit aka Henry Creel - Caught

1987 (vol.2 spoilers!)

mr whatsit- a kind man who appeared into your life whilst you were in the hawkins library. ever since, you became ‘friends’ with him. you never really understood what he meant by monsters were coming to hawkins, but you knew you were scared. henry would always appear at places like your school, where you would talk to him- but your teacher seemed awfully concerned, and that was when you learnt nobody else could see him. he was claimed to be imaginary, every kid had one, but a 12 year old? it was rare.

one last warning about the monsters in hawkins. one last talk before he claimed to help you get away from them. one last reassurance that he was going to save you, and then your family. and that was it. that evening was all a blur, but you knew it was strange.

one moment, you were in your home, upset about your parents arguing, and then the next? you woke up in mr whatsits house, with insistent reassurances that you were now safe. safe from the monsters, as long as you weren’t to go into the woods.

it was just you and him, he became almost like a father figure to you, but you had your suspicions, hidden away beneath the feeling of serenity, hidden beneath the fact that he was going to help other children. and he did.

you were told to never go out into the woods, but one day before the other children you knew came, it was just you- henry had temporarily gone out, presumably to go to the shops, and you found a map- following it, it lead you to a cave where you met max mayfield.

that was when you found out that mr whatsit was evil, he wasn’t who he said he was, and max planned to get you and her out of what you two called the place “camasotz”. the only problem was it required you to go back to the creel house, to go back with mr whatsit just for another day, and so you did.
