Pernicious Meteor
A meteor has crashed to Earth, but this is no ordinary rock. As glowing green gas seeps from its surface, authorities call in their top scientist, Dr. Parker, to investigate. Alone at the site, he prepares to take a sample when the eerie gas suddenly envelops him, and the meteor disintegrates into ash, leaving no trace behind.
Panicked, Dr. Parker reports that the meteor has vanished, concealing the truth of the gas's absorption into his skin. Fearing confinement and invasive tests, he keeps his secret. But back at the lab, he discovers something terrifying: the green molecules are rapidly consuming his blood cells, transforming him in ways he never imagined. His eyes flicker with an unsettling glow—a harbinger of a global crisis.
As the substance spreads, a pernicious mind-altering plague sweeps the globe, turning innocents into violent criminals driven by an insatiable urge to kill. Society teeters on the brink of collapse, with infected individuals marked by their glowing green eyes.
