A week ago, the supernova Aeon detonated in the skies over Antarctica. Mass migrations of humanity and animal life began northward. Secondary bursts of ionizing radiation knocked out worldwide power grids. Global temperatures spiked. Oceans rose as seawater expanded and glaciers melted.

Reality is unraveling. And it’s starting inside the human mind. The invasion did not begin with ships in the sky or armies at the gate.
