Dystopian story of Hig (or Big Hig) who has survived a global flu outbreak that has killed almost everyone.  He is currently living with a survivalist (basically everyone left has turned into one).  He has access to a plane and is able to pilot it for short trips to survey the area around him.  The story is just okay for me.  Much of the story just centers on what everyday life is like.  I didn't feel like the plot moved forward very much.
