Authors note

If IT never happened, would they still be friends? Would Richie Tozier still have a big ass mouth that gets him into trouble? Would Beverly Marsh still be a "slut"? Would Bill Denbrough still lost his little brother Georgie? Would Eddie Kaspbrak still be trapped with his protective mom? Would Ben Hanscom still have an "H" carved into his stomach? Would Would Stanley Uris still be so overcome with guilt because he can't keep a childhood promise? Lastly would Mike Hanlon still be too afraid to shoot an animal? Would they have found each other on their own and made their own adventures.. or not..?
