About this listen
We thought they were angelic messengers. We were wrong.
The aliens silently floated down from the skies in June of 2026, hovering there at a geostationary orbit above the earth for three months. Without warning on September 3rd, 2026, they attacked. Within three months, 85% of humanity had been wiped out. And we all learned the horrible truth regarding these aliens: "You just...don't...look."
We called them gorgons because, like the mythical Medusa, they possessed the unique ability to paralyze us where we stood if we looked at them...and then consume us at their leisure while we felt every agonizing bite.
Follow the lives of Andrew & Melissa Shipley in Blue Spring Kentucky, along with their children Cameron, Sissy, and Rutty as everyday people whose lives are upended as they are forced to flee, eking out an existence in the shadows. Travel with them from the alien invasion of 2026 through December of 2042 as gorgons take over the planet in a post-apocalyptic and dystopian Earth. Then join sons Cameron and Rutty in Clarksville Tennessee in 2042, as humanity readies itself for the greatest counteroffensive that mankind has ever seen.

Story
BANGKOK, MARCH 2018. The world looked on in horror as millions of innocent lives were snuffed out in a matter of hours. Countless men, women and children slaughtered without mercy, torn apart by a violent mob that attacked without reason, motive or warning. Tom Freeman witnessed the aftermath. He reported on the tragedy and looked into the eyes of the sole survivor, an old friend, and what he saw looking back sent him running home to the United States. Back to safety. Back to a place where the world made sense, and the putrid stink of the dead didn't haunt his nightmares.

When the end of the world arrived, it came not with a bang, as most expected, but with more of a "pfft" instead. Humanity has been torn asunder and brought to the edge of total annihilation in less than an hour. For those who died, it was a quick death, so fast that their brains didn't have time to process the pain signals from their nerves. For those who survived, the true horror is about to begin as they struggle to not only stay alive, but come to grips with the shocking realization about what - and who - was responsible.
