Governments scramble to understand, to control the narrative, but the truth is far more staggering than any could have conceived: humanity is under the silent, pervasive Gaze of an ancient, incomprehensible intelligence. Their "Echoes" dance in our skies, ethereal and inexplicable, while their "Resonance" hums a subtle, almost imperceptible tune in the very fabric of spacetime itself. Dr. Silas ...

“Dear God in heaven, thank you!” Adam’s relief however was short-lived, for when he glanced over at Janet, who was still searching through the ruins for Michelle’s body, he froze in terror. “Dear God, Janet, look behind you!” he yelled. She turned, and let out a piercing scream as she stared at a heap of rubbish that had started to shudder and crumble as something bubbled out from within. It was as if the earth itself had opened up and the huge mound seemed to explode, as bits of scum and liquid bubbled down the sides of it like brown feces oozing from an open sewer. From the ...
