The Dissonance Quadrilogy

“We thought they were angelic messengers. We were wrong."

The creatures arrived on June 6th, 2026, by the hundreds of thousands, silently drifting down out of the sky, hovering at a geostationary orbit for three months all over the planet, taking up positions. No one knew what they wanted...why they came...or why they wouldn't just go away.

And then, three months later, the unthinkable happened. They suddenly came to life, hunting us down. We called them gorgons—after the mythical creature Medusa—because their eyes had the power to paralyze us with just one look. Once we were immobilized, they would consume us at their leisure, leaving us to feel every excruciating bite. There was no escape, no hiding from their relentless pursuit. The best defense was to run.

By the end of 2026, 85% of humanity was killed off.

The alien invasion leaves Planet Earth a ghost town eking out an existence in the shadows.
