And Then, The Sky Fell

One fateful day, a horde of metallic spaceships darkened the Earth's blue sky. The alien force arrived unannounced, their intentions veiled in their eerie silence. Earth was left to wonder as efforts to communicate with the invaders went unanswered.

The world's armies united, firing a series of missiles at the invaders, only to witness them dissolve mid-air, leaving no trace of their existence. The invaders retaliated, releasing a beam of light that turned everything it touched to dust. Panic ensued, chaos reigned, and the once bustling earth fell into an eerie silence, succumbing to the defeat.

As humanity's end neared, the alien ships concentrated their firepower on the Earth's moon. The moon began to break up and the pieces plummeted toward the Earth. The sky, once a symbol of infinity and hope was filled with falling fragments of the moon. People watched in horror, their hearts sinking with every impact on the Earth's surface. The sky that was once full of stars and dreams, was now a menacing entity, falling upon them. Their last sight was of the descending fragments. The final chapter of human history started with humanity's last words, "and then, the sky fell."
