1. Sharp Teeth, Chapter One (Adrienne Argent)

Her sneakers, the black and blue Nikes she’d carted around for her past five moves, hit the concrete quietly as she made her way to the forest she’d seen on the way in.  It was quiet, as if if the town itself had gone to bed with its inhabitants, but Adrienne found the stillness peaceful rather than eerie. Maybe if she’d felt how daunting it truly was, she would have gone home and saved herself a lifetime of suffering.  But she remained oblivious to the sinister silence, to the electricity in the air, and continued down the path that would change her life.Once she reached the forest’s edge, she tightened her auburn ponytail and straightened her tank top, out of habit more than necessity.  The earbuds that had been shoved into the pocket of her black hoodie - so that she would hear if her parents opened the door - were placed firmly in her ears, and she was greeted by the familiar baseline to Boom Boom Pow.  She took a deep breath, grounding herself in the familiar smell of dirt and trees - in her countless moves, countless states and countries and continents, she’d learned to find comfort in consistency; learned to seek out the things that never changed, and to make a home out of them.  The bright linoleum of every Seven-Eleven, the stench of McDonald’s from at least a block away, and the smell of a forest after it rained.

2. No Good Deed, Chapter One (Cathy Tozier)

Even as Cathy’s own life seemed to brighten, the town of Derry got darker as yet another child disappeared.  It watched, smiling, as the Losers biked past a sewer drain. Five kids, filled with delicious fear. It could practically taste them already, and salivated at the thought.  Soon, It told itself, soon they would be Its to feast upon and their fear would leave him stronger than It had ever been.

But peddling down the streets of Derry, the group had no idea what was coming; no idea that they would soon learn the truth about the nightmare that encompassed their town, their lives.  They had no idea what the disappearance of Georgie Denbrough would lead to. If they had, they might have kept biking all the way out of town, and never stopped. But they didn’t, and so they biked home, unknowingly sentencing themselves to a lifetime of horrors.
