\"\"Snapshot is the disturbing story of a Silicon Valley adolescent who finds himself threatened by The Phoenician,<\/em>\u00a0a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid Instant Camera that erases memories, snap by snap. A young man takes to the skies to experience his first parachute jump. . . and winds up a castaway on an impossibly solid cloud, a Prospero’s island of roiling vapor that seems animated by a mind of its own in Aloft. On a seemingly ordinary day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open up in a downpour of nails–splinters of bright crystal that shred the skin of anyone not safely under cover. Rain explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of nails spreads out across the country and around the world. In Loaded, a mall security guard in a coastal Florida town courageously stops a mass shooting and becomes a hero to the modern gun rights movement. But under the glare of the spotlights, his story begins to unravel, taking his sanity with it. When an out-of-control summer blaze approaches the town, he will reach for the gun again and embark on one last day of reckoning.<\/p>\n

The story starts as follows:
\n<\/strong>Snapshot
\n<\/em>Shelly Beukes stood at the bottom of the driveway, squinting up at our pick-sandstone ranch as if she had never seen it before. She wore a trench coat fit for Humphrey Bogart and carried a big cloth handbag printed with pineappels and tropical flowers. She could\u2019ve been on her way to the supermarket, if there were one in walking distance, wich there wasn\u2019t. I had to look twice before I registered what was wrong with the picture: She had forgotten to put on her shoes, and her feet were filthy, almost black with grime.

\n<\/strong>Loaded
\n<\/em>October 14, 1993
\nAisha thought of him as her brother, even though they weren\u2019t blood. His name was Colson, but his friends called him Romeo, because he had played that role in the park last summer, getting fresh with a white Juliet who had teeth so bright she should\u2019ve been in a chewing-gum ad. Aisha had watched him perform on a Juli evening, when dusk seemed to last for hours, a line of glowering red light on the horizon, the clouds shavings of gold against the dark sky behind. Aisha was ten end didn\u2019t understand half of what Colson said, up there on the stage, dressed in purple velvet like he was Prince.
\n<\/em>
\nAloft
\n<\/em>He hated it in the back of the little plane, squished in with the others. He hated the reek of gasoline and moldy canvas and his own rancid farts, and by the time they reached six thousand feet, Aubrey Griffin decided he couldn\u2019t go.
\n\u201cI\u2019m so sorry to do this, man -\u201d Audrey began, calling over his shoulder to the guy he thought of as Axe.
\nHis jumpmaster\u2019s name had flown out of his head as soon as the dude introduced himself. By then Aubrey was having trouble hanging on to even the most basic information.<\/p>\n

Rain
\n<\/em>When the rain fell, most everyone was caught outside in it.
\nYou wonder, maybe, why so many people died in that initial downpour. People who weren\u2019t there say,\u00a0don\u2019t folks in Boulder know to come in out of the rain?<\/em>\u00a0Well, let me tell you. This was the last Friday in August, you remember, and it was H-O-T,\u00a0hot<\/em>. At eleven in the morning? There wasn\u2019t a cloud to be seen. The sky was so blue it hurt to look at it for too long, and a body just couldn\u2019t stand to be inside. It as about as glorious as the first day in Eden.<\/p>\n
