It had begun.

In the wake of her celestial beauty, Comet Saracen had bestowed upon the Northern Hemisphere a terrible legacy. On Sunday, May 28th, no one knew about it yet. Well, a few thousand people knew. But those who did discover the comet's secret didn't get a chance to share it with the rest of the world because they were dead. Those who survived their encounter with the emergence of Hell on Earth were ignored, the stories they repeated dismissed as the ramblings of disturbed minds. But the tales they told were true, and the rest of the world would soon find out how deadly that truth was. By then it would be too late.

In fact it was already too late. While most Americans enjoyed a quiet Sunday reading the paper, washing the car, eating large brunches, or indulging in whatever they usually did on the last day of the weekend, a cancer of death was spreading with the speed and voracious appetite of a brush fire.

From that day on, there would be no rest, no peace.

Especially for the dead.
