The war was over, the Brain-men had won, Earth had fallen silent. Some on the ISS cried for themselves and some for those lost, there was nowhere to go nor no-one to go to, there was only time left until food ran out and after that – death, death which would come as last gift from what we call life, ending the despair and maybe even taking us to something bigger, something better.
They appeared out of nowhere and started feeding almost immediately, in that sense we weren't very different, we just didn't expect that we ourselves would be resources to a different civilization. It's kind of weird to call them a civilization, could creatures who are driven by basic instincts even form a civilization? Anyway, at once we started calling them Brain-men, not because what they did, but what their organic devices looked like. The devices that literally helped suck men dry, some even said that they took our souls, and regarded them the Devil that had come to rule Earth, but there was no Rapture, no saviour to help the faithful ascend. The creatures themselves could only be described by the horrors we've all seen in our early childhood dreams, something without real physical form but at the same time the things that made 3-year-olds wet their beds at night. The first time I saw footage of the beasts, I thought „Christ, they've always been there, since our very birth but only the undeveloped ego of a child could perceive them.“ Maybe they were always there, hating us for intruding their territory, desperately devising a way to exist here, to annihilate us. But maybe we were just cattle to them, bred and even nurtured so we could someday become a foodsource, a snack. „Hell, I don't know.“ Atleast I know for a fact that we did everything we could to fight them off, it really doesn't matter that we didn't succeed. It's like the heroic human nature that Hollywood zombie flicks portray - in the face of total destruction people band together to fight a desperate fight, the only real difference is that in the end we didn't win, but we still showed ourselves that we are heroic in nature.
After the beasts initial appearance in Iraq, UN soldiers quickly realized that bullets and explosives had no effect on them as they spread like a plague through the desert. The little data that was transmitted to western scientist left them baffled on the origin and composition of the beings. Bolder scientists theorized, because the creatures were incorporeal in nature and seemed to have appereared out of nowhere, that they were something from another dimension, probably even shadow-puppets that were controlled from somewhere else. They even thought that if we could disintegrate the shadows and contained, by then what we had called Ground Zero (because it seemed to be the only place they sprag forth), the area, we would be safe from harm. Maybe it would have worked, if we had had a couple of decades to study the beasts, but in a month, half of the world was overrun. The sight from space was as if a dark planket had covered one side of the Earth. It was then that the newly formed Earth Alliance nuked Ground Zero, unfortunately with no effect. It took them another month to completly cover the Earth. At that point it looked kind of beautiful, a glittering black sphere in space, twirling around a sun. It stayed like that for two weeks, two weeks that seemed like years, as we waited for our inevitable demise. After that, the planket receded without warning, like a bursting soap bubble in slow motion, leaving in its wake a planet defaced. A red rock in space, devoid of life with us floating around it in an air-filled casket. A sudden horrifying realization dawned on me, about this universe, about civilizations lost or soon to be lost. I thought that if i shared this newly gained knowledge it would somehow become bearable, I turned and looked at my two comrades and saw that they had transformed from a biologist to Theseus and from a physicist to Minotaur, I thought „I'm losing my mind.“, Theseus shook his head, „Then i must be dreaming.“ Minotaur nodded. I woke with a sudden kick that threw my cat off the bed, my head filled with questions about the horrors I had seen. But somehow i dozed off again, in a weird knowledge that I was floating in the safty of space.
