Obliteration - The Stygian Lepus Magazine, #1501

When the skies rain fire and the world turns to chaos, a mother's desperate race to save her child reveals an even darker enemy lurking in the ashes. In the midst of a peaceful reunion, Abby's world is violently upended when an apocalyptic event strikes, leaving Earth under siege by mysterious attackers. As fiery rocks rain down from the skies, Abby races to protect her son, Eric, from the chaos unfolding around them.
Her husband, Lance, a soldier, is called to action, leaving Abby to navigate a burning city and a decimated landscape on her own. Together, they flee toward a safe haven, only to discover the devastation reaches far beyond their home. The attackers aren't just launching meteors-they've unleashed something far more sinister. As Abby and Lance fight to survive in a world where mind control threatens even the military, they must outwit an unseen enemy and find a way to keep their family safe. In this relentless, high-stakes battle for survival, Abby's maternal instincts and Lance's military training are put to the ultimate test, forcing them to confront not just the horrors outside but the strength within themselves.
