The Universe is a beautiful place, but no one ever said it was necessarily ‘nice…’

You destroyed earth! In a quick and effortless manner, too; efficient, and deadly. That’s what’s scary.

I really like this one, good work making a grey goo scenario actually pretty funny. Of course, it wouldn’t be nearly so funny to any people that are getting dissolved, but still.

Very cool. Using the numbers really gave the story a sense of pace, progresion and scale, which is what I always struggle to do within the 1024 character limit.

I feel like this is one step short of a Dr Seuss! Good job.

Story edit: The last line about the failure of the ‘bots to say ’take me to your leader’ didn’t really work, so I opted for something a little neater…

I like the new last line.

I wonder if some little part of Clem remains in the nanobots and exclaims “Coo-ee!” when it reaches the next planet…
