We feared it was a viral Christmas Eve prank—a deep resonance, beginning as the Earth’s harmonic frequency. We felt unease, but we didn’t why until the sound was heard everywhere.

The sound morphed into a terrifying, oscillating rendition of “Jingle Bells” that didn’t abate.
2/3
We dropped to our knees, covering our ears, our children’s ears, our pets’ ears.

We cried out for it to stop. It did after we fell to the ground. Then we heard nothing again.

On Christmas morning, there were no joyful sounds of children opening presents or carolers singing.
3/3
The only sounds were the wind & alien ships landing, disgorging their legions. Not a single shot fired.

We’d been slayed by a once-joyous song, twisted into a genocidal weapon.

The aliens knew our weaknesses, & used them against us.
