Charlie Camden decided, after the passing of her mother, that she was going to be someone else. Smoking, drinking, and partying is what her new persona does for fun. But after a night where things go too far, and two of her 'best friends' leave her stranded to spend the night in the county jail all alone, Charlie faces repercussions at home. Her aunt and uncle decide that they've had enough of her antics and refusals to follow the rules. When Charlie is sent back home to the little town of Hickory Falls - the beloved childhood dwelling before her parents' blood-bath of a divorce - to live with her absentee-father, she finds that there are so many memories here she wishes desperately that she can let go of. Sometimes, though, letting go can be very difficult. Quite near impossible, actually. #512 ~ Teen Fiction [5/10/15] ©All Rights Reserved Cover credit goes to @doubtful {THIS STORY IS TEMPORARILY, AND IRONICALLY, ON HOLD.}

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.
