We start out seeing a news broadcast. The date is December 21, 2012. A violent terrorist leader has just been pardoned from the death sentence. The newscaster reflects her thoughts on what this means for the world. If a terrorist who has been responsible for the murder of hundreds of people has been spared, are we doomed as a species?
Pan out. The newscast has been shown in a classroom. The teacher goes on to discuss the historical significance of the pardon. It is now 2042. The pardon of the terrorist leader opened talks between the middle east and the west, ushering in a new era of peace. There hasn't been a recorded murder in the world in 20 years. All militaries have been disbanded; weapons are a relic of the past. The world is at complete peace.
All government resources have been poured into scientific research. Nanotechnology has brought mankind to the brink of immortality. The dream of colonizing other planets is within reach. As the teacher talks, the room suddenly starts to shake. The school crumbles, and many students are killed. The teacher and a few of her students manage to crawl their way out of the dust and rubble. The sky outside is a dark purple and distorted. The sky ripples as though it was a sheet with worms crawling beneath it. They take refuge in a jammed local bar, where news is coming in from all over the world. Rivers have reversed their courses, and landmasses have crumbled and broken away. Governments threaten to reinstate their militaries Looting has begun, and the peace the earth has known for thirty years has been broken within a matter of hours. All of the refugees watch in horror, as the earth trembles again.
The group moves outside, where the sky has grown dark redish black. The sun and the stars are out at once, and the sky writhes as if it were pregnant and about to give birth.
The the group tries to come up with a plan, where they can go. As they talk about possible scenarios, the city crashes and burns around them. The sky continues to fluctuate as though it where a living being. They decide to move to the countryside where there are less possible hazards. Many die on the way.
When they finally reach the country, the entire world goes silent. Not a sound can be heard. No one talks, heavy breaths are the only sign that there is anything, living or dead within miles. Then a distorted stretching sound is heard. As they look towards the unreal sky, an image, like a face pressed against spandex, starts to form in the sky. There comes a form of a horrible face, distorting reality itself. Masses of entrails, tentacles and teeth push the stars outward to their limit and ever closer to the horrified group. Finally, a ripping noise is heard as the head of the monster tears through the fabric of space and time, like a horrid child being born from a womb. It screams with a mixture of dying pigs and crying children, a noise so horrible that the group start to bleed from their ears and fall to the ground in pain. The beast steps into it's new world, creeping along and absorbing everything in its path.
The creature engulfs the world. There is no stopping it. We see cities collapse under its mass of writhing tentacles and slime, people dying at its horrible howls. As we see the last of mankind fall under its form, the screen goes dark. The entire world is wrapped in tentacles and flesh.
Shot: The flesh begins to recede and withdraw from the earth. Wreckage and ruin are revealed. Somewhere in a barren land, we see something move. It's a discolored amniotic sac of sorts. Something tears through, resembling a cross between a human and a bird. It cries out. The earth has given birth to a new child; the cycle has begun anew.
