The Cloudy Place
Storm Over the City
Two friends stand at the edge of a city swallowed by an impossible storm. Somewhere beneath the black cloud, something has begun to watch them back.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS ONE?
The quick version
A strange cloud covers the city and two friends decide to investigate instead of hiding. The closer they get, the more the storm behaves like a creature.
THE STORY
Synopsis
When a black storm settles over the city and refuses to move, Niko and his red-hooded companion discover that the streets beneath it are changing. Familiar buildings lean into impossible shapes, strange symbols appear overnight and every flash of lightning reveals the same enormous pair of eyes.
To find out what the cloud wants, the friends must cross the flooded edge of the city and climb toward the mountain hidden inside the storm. But the closer they get, the clearer it becomes that the Cloud has not trapped everyone—it has been waiting for them.
