Thin and cold was the air. It was so thin, indeed, that the lungs had to gulp it feverishly to secure enough oxygen to maintain life. And it was so dry that its touch seemed to wither the skin. Year by year, the air and water of the little world had failed, until now — A pathetic parade was winding through the gleamin...g chromaloy towers of this city of the Twilight Zone.
