Reply to comment by Rangermatthias in Every year in my village, there is a time during which everybody blacks out for 24 hours. In 2015, I remained conscious. Part 1 by AngelmZeal1

He was awake. Those who are sleeping are likely taken over, and those who are awake can’t be taken. That’s why he was unsuitable. OP, run like the damn blazes are behind you, and flee for your life.

No one has ever been awake? What did OP do to stay awake?

Sure they have been. The ones who died in weird ways (woman drowned in another’s tub, kids disappearing) were the ones awake. OP seems to have been kept awake by his anxiety, being 13, and terrified for the blackout.

You mentioned him being awake was what was different. His "sister" was acting like she had never seen anyone awake. Like he was the first to break "the covenant".

If it was JUST him being awake, how did a 13 year old kid do something no one else had done in generations?
