Quite the beginning to this one.  A solar flare has caused not only the power to go off but has created a change in some people's brains.  They are being called the "Zapheads".This solar flare apparently started with some smaller brownouts and then became massive.  A warning was issued to NOAA, FAA, FCC, DOD and Homeland Security.  The decision was made to pass information up the Chain of Command to the President.  One of the three people in this meeting went crazy and attacked another one.  This was the beginning of the Zapheads.One man, Franklin Wheeler,  has been living by himself in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Completely self-sustained, he has lived there for several years.  He has only told one person about his location - Milestone 291.This short story leaves us with a lot of questions,  How extensive is this blackout? Will the number of Zapheads increase? Will Rachel make it to Franklin's hideaway?Highly recommended...
