Mercury Eye: A Novella

The city of Considia is under attack by dragons. They roam the hovercar-filled skies and blast the neon streets with flame, seemingly determined to wipe out all of humankind and their technological accomplishments. Military attempts to suppress them have failed, and now the dragons resort to suicide tactics in their desperate reign of destruction.

Meanwhile, citizens are dying mysteriously and a strange white mist lingers amongst the buildings, a mist that only genius scientist Bryce Williams is able to see. When his greatest invention -- a thirty-foot titanium dragon -- escapes from its enclosure and goes on a fiery rampage, Bryce believes his efforts to create an intelligent robot to protect the city have failed horribly -- along with his career.

But the revelation he discovers about the motivations of his Mercury II dragon leave him shocked, yet unable to convince anyone of the truth...

What is the mist?
