satellite comes crashing down, secrets revealed as life crawls out, civilian population contaminated by gamma radiation, military overwhelmed by majestic skies as their hardware fries, anything with an electrical component rendered immobile. the creatures are invisible, they operate within the invisible spectrum but spill into ours, distortion occurs, time slows, sometimes bends and curves, people find strange side effects, regained youth as the body clock reverses, lost memories returned, strange communications from ghosts and the unborn. society crumbles fast, light alters and intensifies, burning the skin, exposure is lethal. millions die. some small communities move around at night, a small private corporation in an underground facility invents a cure, a pigmentation genetic implant that turns the skin blue and luminous. food sources are scarce but the survivors who have the blue skin learn to photosynthesis using light and water as a side effect. other side effects are the bones become more elasticated and give humans the ability to become almost part rubber, more flexibility.
the visitors keep themselves to themselves, occasionally whispers are heard that they are altering the atmosphere, changing increasing the carbon dioxide to oxygen ratio, plant life starts to flourish, the altered atmosphere is thought to be a trigger for the change in skin pigmentation to react with the gene alteration.
looking up at the skies humanity is filled with wonder but the biggest thought people had was are we still human?
