HAWKINS, INDIANA, with its population of around 30,000 citizens, wasn't a place people just ended up at. Either you were born there and never left or...well, that was pretty much it. Hawkins was the type of small town where everyone was privy to everyone else's business, except most of the time, people were too polite to comment on it.
For these reasons, the attractive, new Reading teacher to be employed at Hawkins Middle School, was quite the talk about town. Not that any of this interest was made apparent to her face, though. Instead, residents peered through their blinds when she drove past in her Chevy pickup truck, which was new enough to stand out like a sore thumb in town, but not so new as to imply she came from money.
Inquisitive eyes followed her every move as she perused through the selves at Bradley's Big Buy supermarket. All wondering what would bring a young woman to a city like this alone, seemingly without relatives located nearby, and with no husband nor children to boot.
But, none dared speak to the thirty-something brunette, who was likened to a new toy amongst a population deprived of entertainment, but she was frequently spoken of behind closed doors.
At the start of June 1983, Ana Thompson had blown into town in a wave of moving trucks and mystery, taking up residence in the old Mooney house just on the outskirts of Hawkins.
And, that was all anyone knew of her, just where she had chosen to inhabit and who would be her employer upon the completion of summer.
Perhaps that isn't the fairest of assessments, there was one other thing that the townspeople of Hawkins quickly recognized about the new soon-to-be school teacher. That one morsel of information to be gleaned from her precise comings and goings was that she was partial to beer.
This mutual affinity for a good ale would prove to be the foundation for a growing, would be tumultuous, relationship between Ana Thompson and Hawkins' resident police chief, Jim Hopper.
