The green cloud coming in under the door was faint and fleeting and puffed into small clouds as Mitch heard terrified people running past his apartment door. Hands of people running scared and horrified smacked at his door and voices screamed to be let in and Mitch stood in the center of his room with the TV news on watching the cloud and not knowing what to do. Men and women and children were running and Mitch heard them and he heard other noises that sounded like animal noises and he shuddered every time a body slammed against the door and his blood went cold with fear and he knew he was trapped in his room with green death creeping under his door.

The Cloud-Part 1
Welcome to The Cloud. This is a short story that I'm going to attempt to tell in short, three-sentence bursts. Will it work? Who the hell knows? Will it be regular? Hopefully. I like to think of it as an organic work in progress. If I can use that excuse, no one can call me lazy.
So, please, read The Cloud. Hope you enjoy it.

When Mitch woke up that morning he instinctively turned on the news as he passed the television and walked into the kitchen and turned on the coffee maker and then back to the living room and flopped down on the couch and sighed. The story about a bomb exploding and a green cloud and the cloud killing everyone for miles and then their corpses rising and feeding and running and killing and other reports of this happening all over the country was the breaking news of the morning. Mitch's blood went cold and he wanted to look out the window but he couldn't take his eyes off the television, then he heard running and screaming in the hall of his apartment building and terror and panic consumed him as he heard monstrous noises from the hall and saw a faint green cloud slowly coming in from under his front door.
