Action-Reaction, Pt 1
Planet Wyeth, Renalus System, Sol Federation (formerly)
A shadow hung heavily over the Federation planet. Or perhaps more accurately, it crept steadily across what used to be a Federation planet and consumed everything in its path. It chewed through its largest cities as quickly and completely as it devoured whatever plains and forests and oceans it had left.
Godeater swept over the streets and buildings and stores and hoppers across the capital megacity, which spanned nearly a quarter of the planet’s surface. Its billions of citizens ran from the creeping shadow in horrified panic.
It didn’t matter how fast and frenzied they ran or whether they used their feet or fled in hoppers, the shadow constantly nipped at their heels.
