When Maya and Grace wake up for work it's a normal day. They didn't expect it to be any different than a usual work day. Boy were they wrong. On arriving at work they find a bloody mess and begin realizing that people are turning into unstable killing machines. Their friend Jon rescues them before they are hurt but they are all horrified as an epidemic unfolds within the perimeter of the campus. How will they survive and what will happen to them and the people they love if anyone can be turned into a mindless killing machine? How will they escape? Who will lead them in these rising times of peril? What will they face, who will they lose, and how will they keep each other alive? And by alive, they mean alive and themselves. Not moving and killing. Follow along as this rag tag group of teens survive an apocalyptic world that gets worse by the moment. For any who started "Presences", I decided to combine it with "When August Ends" instead of doing two separate books so it is now a part of this single novel.

Amber Greene is a normal teenage girl: On the basketball team, Has good grades- Aw, forget that! That's how most fanfics start out- They're normal people, Blah blah blah, Horrible past, Whatever. For this, I'm just going to say that Amber never expected to meet her idols, or find out about zombies on ordinary Friday night after a basketball game. The rest you'll have to learn from Amber herself. [au] [depression, anxiety, flashbacks and nightmares, gore, murder, death, profanity, zombies] [completed; written in 2013] ©chaos-skinnyjeans, 2013
