A religious event. An extraterrestrial event. A higher dimension. We have many theories, few facts. It started around three years ago. Blackwater National Park reported that a lighthouse was surrounded by something they termed “a shimmer.” One of the wardens went in to investigate. Never returned. The event was classified. Since then, we’ve approached by land, by sea, sent in drones, animals, and teams of people. But nothing comes back. And the boundary’s getting bigger. It’s expanding. So far, it’s eating into barely populated swampland, which, you know, we evacuated under the pretext of a chemical spill, but… that won’t last much longer. In a few months, the area will have grown to where we are right now. And then we’re talking cities… states… and so on.
