A short story by Shaun Herbert: a war of attrition between man and machine with a twist. Trapped in his underground apartment at the hands of his creation, Kade Strohm, a Cybertronic Engineer for the world's largest technology company (IEC) can find no path to freedom. Will the computer entity he designed, a super artificial intelligence beyond man's comprehension, win the day...? He's not sure. He has a plan, and escape is not the only option. Will Kade do the unthinkable, take the plunge into the dark recesses of his own mind, in a desperate attempt at survival - or will he die in trying?
