One Shot Theater: Blazing Hymn Lightbringer

Humanity, it seems, has lived on this planet long enough.

At first, when we called them Angels, we meant it. Their flawless crystalline forms caught the sunlight in dazzling colors, and their radiance set our hearts at ease. These otherworldly creatures didn’t come from any planet we could identify, but we knew the second we set eyes on them that they came from somewhere beyond us.


Then the slaughter began.


Soon, we spat the word “Angel” with a thick, poisonous irony heavy with grief and terror. Their attacks didn’t seem random – in the middle of our largest and proudest cities, they showed their blades and showered the land in their poison. They flashed into existence like exquisite kaleidoscopes, and everyone they touched died. Earth creatures – ourselves included – crumple at their touch, dead in instants.


Where Angels have gone, nothing will live. The air shimmers like an oil-slick in all the colors of the rainbow, and the very grass withers. There is a lingering sound, faint but detectable by sensors, like the ringing of a struck wine-glass.


Now, we call them Angels literally. We know what they are.


They have come from Heaven to massacre us.


We will not let them.
