Poisoned Air

A sudden, poisonous fog rolls over the remote Michaelville range, choking the men stationed at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. As the coughing fits intensify, an exhausted orderly scrambles to dispatch ambulances, while two medical officers race against the unseen toxin, their own gas masks barely keeping the lethal mist at bay. The desperate drive through the shrouded road sets a tense, claustrophobic tone, hinting at a hidden menace lurking within the mist.

When the ambulances finally reach the range, the medics find their comrades collapsed on the concrete, barely conscious and struggling for breath. Among them is Lieutenant Burroughs, whose faint attempts to speak reveal the depth of the danger. With masks slipping and visibility vanishing, the story follows the relentless effort of doctors and soldiers to confront the mysterious gas before it claims more lives, promising a gripping battle of wits and survival in a world where even the air can turn against you.
