   Summary

   When Ellie Williams is placed in a group home run by a religious weirdo, she's determined to survive.

   Turns out she may get the chance to live instead.

    

   A stand-alone companion piece to a safe place to land, kiss from the lips of a monster, and October/November: Interlude. (Will it make more sense if you've read those? Probably. Do you need to? Nah.)
