The Satan Bug

Snow lies heavy on the high desert plain. A single glove, frozen to the ground, fingers curled as if still clutching something gone. Inside the silent lab, coffee steams beside three bodies slumped over a terminal. A clean-room fortress breached, a vial missing, and four thousand gallons of distilled water running through the filtration system too fast. Like Don Siegel meets DuPont at midnight—cold, precise, and wired to a Geiger counter.
