Hi Eric! You might be able to track down a copy of the story's original appearance in the August 2006 issue of the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction online. Failing that, it's been reprinted in English in three books which you may be able to find: Science Fiction: The Best of the Year 2007, ed. Rich Horton, Prime Books, 2007. The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, Twentieth Annual Collection, ed. Ellen Datlow and Kelly Link & Gavin J. Grant, St. Martin’s, 2007. The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, ed. Jonathan Strahan, Night Shade Books, 2007.

Thanks, Steven! As I say listing you first in the book's acknowledgements, it wouldn't have been possible without your work!

Ted beat you to it, but you anticipated what I feel to be the proper course. Rather than correct the typo, I will embrace it! The atmosphere has a WILL, an alien and inhuman intelligence that is directing its efforts against me and all I hold dear! I shall combat it with science. Possibly SUPER-science if I can get hold of any.
