Description
Meet Lea Tillim, aka Cadaver Dimples, Star of Morgues and Emergency Rooms. Scarecrow thin, with a sharp crew cut and a dead face, Lea's a girl with a talent. She can think you into a heart attack if you cross her--or, if she's feeling kind, just a bad case of indigestion. She has only one friend in the world, her cat, Tule. You see, a girl like Lea can't be too careful whom she shows her talent to. In her experience it only leads to troubles and tragedies. Now it's led her to Jack Konar, show more who's secretly building something strange and wonderful in an abandoned section of the local Sears and Roebuck. According to Jack, it's all part of a master plan to rescue the Chosen from this godforsaken planet. But the agents of the Evil Ones-cleverly disguised as ordinary people and sometimes even cats-are trying to stop him. Jack needs a girl with Lea's special talents. It would all sound just too crazy for words if the most dangerous and unexpected thing of all hadn't happened. After years of the best poker face grief could buy, Lea finds herself slowly coming back to life . . . and falling in love with the savior of the world. show lessTags

- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)They conduct electricity, and they even turn to gas, when the electricity goes through those tears, and you get hydrogen at one pole and oxygen at the other pole, and those are what water comes from, hydrogen and oxygen, and I bet they go straight back up into the sky--like moon steam--which is where water came from, and we came from water, so we came from the sky too, and that's what we're going back to, is how I figure it, the end.
