A story from madsadcat studio
A Billion Falling Stars
하떨별
An asteroid is found heading for Earth several months before it arrives.
There is time. Scientists study it, and the whole world prepares together.
Twice, plasma beams are fired to stop it. Twice they fail, because the asteroid is made of something no one has seen before.
After the second failure, the months that were left become hours.
Nothing has been released yet. The dates below are targets.
