☆ Now for a spooky snippet because of spooky day: From outer space an oppressive darkness wrapped itself around the Earth. A translucent film suffocated and sapped the populace in a bloodless revolution wrought by this instant void. No one had noticed what happened as it was all too incomprehensible to acknowledge, just too unimaginable. Not even amongst the brightest and most insightful individuals did a single hint of what happened register in their brains, and because it never registered it simply did not exist. The membrane that formed around the Earth flaked and shed, intoxicating the populace with a foggy deliriousness that tricked everyone into believing that all was fine. As the entity changed our planet, so did the people within it. Its seeds festering from within birthed a subconsciousness of its own that mercifully brought celebration towards self-extinction. Day by day the world would irreversibly change. Everyone lived on as they did, now trapped in a stagnant system serving as this being's organs. No one could scream, laugh, love or hate. Life now devoid of living never changed and no one cared. Their world warped and violated, all matter began to twist and form veins in decadent air to serve its insatiable hunger. Time had lost all meaning. Blurry beyond repair, no wandering spirit could bear attachment to humanity's home any longer. Every soul still trapped on this Earth to be continually corrupted troughout every incarnation. Eventually the entity detached itself and left the planet wholly sterilized from its protocol. The shroud of darkness lifted inside out as it moved on for a new host. When the horrors of this process at last became visible for all to see, it was already considered normal. Nothing remained but winds blowing away hearts made of dust and the anguish of a few faint whimpers.
