An experimental weapon misfires, killing all but 1 person out of every 10,000. At random and worldwide. This is the story of three survivors in the US, and how they eventually aid in a local recovery effort. In the telling, logic is used more than violence.

Sammy Travis was born in a small town in W. Virginia. Lack of work forced him into the US Army in 1938, before WWII. The story is about his experiences from then through most of that war.

An old man picks up a lonely girl late at night at a pizza joint. Elation at his good luck soon turns to apprehension as she gradually shrugs off that "nice girl" image to show her true colors.

A shy masochistic fetishist wins a State Lottery. About the same time, but before the money comes in, he invites two out-of-work girls up to his room. One turns out to be a closet sadist. Perfect match? Hardly. Some but not a lot of graphic BDSM. Mostly about relationships.
