Blackout Experiment 1.0

It's all gone.
The electricity.
The internet.
At first it's nothing. Just a few blackouts here and there.
But after a week people see that it's more. The gas stations can't provide them with gas.
The grocery store can't contact their food providers.
The schools are dark.
The TVs shows a message, and a terrifying one at that.
The government turned it all off, just to study them all.
But they'll turn it all on. For one simple cost.
They give out a list of names.
A list of names that are people too.
And, of course, those people are our story.
