Z to A in May Challenge Introduction

Welcome to the MILLERWRITES  take on the Z to A in May Challenge!  My posts will be much shorter for the challenge this month. And with a new theme:  Each day will be a brief character sketch of the 26 people populating the novel I've been thinking about for a couple of years now. My hero will be telling a little bit about each person from the perspective of his contact and experience with him or her. You will have to wait a while to find out just who the hero is, for his first initial is way down the line! But go to Monday, May 2nd to meet Zoe (just don't get too close!).
