  The characters and events herein are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to
  real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Some of the locations

  Reader’s note: _Not Alone: The Awakening_ was written, edited and produced in
  Scotland. As such, some spellings will differ from those found in the United
  States. Examples of British English include using colour rather than color,
  organise rather than organize, and centre rather than center. An exception to
  this rule is the use of proper nouns, which retain their American spelling
  where applicable.
