A truly frightening tale of a cloud of micro-robots literally gone to seed. Its prey is humans; the humans who made the cloud can't figure out how to stop it; the story progresses neck-and-neck with "The Cloud" and the people at its (unattainable) mercy, and will keep you either biting your nails or acting out some other compulsive behavior from the sheer suspense of it all. The only thing I'll reveal about the ending is that it is *definitely* not a good omen, should this tale ever pass from fiction into true-story. Unforgettable!
