   Summary

   Richie Tozier wakes up in his dressing room thinking he just had a horrible dream. As things start happening exactly how he 'dreamt' them, he finds himself trapped in a loop, repeating the worst few days of his life indefinitely. But hey, at least he's trapped with his friends! Even if they don't remember it.
