The low drone of the television is obliterated by a sudden, bone-jarring boom that rattles the very foundations of the house. A violent shockwave sends a cloud of plaster and dust billowing from the ceiling, coating everything in a ghostly white powder. You scramble toward the bedroom, heart hammering against your ribs, and fling the door open to find your sanctuary demolished. In the center of a jagged crater of splintered wood and ruined drywall lies a creature not of this earth. He is tangled in the wreckage, his shimmering skin glistening under the flickering light as he blinks up at you with wide, obsidian eyes, radiating a mixture of terror and profound confusion.
