High above Earth, a swirling black bubble grew suddenly out of the darkness of space. A battered crate span out of it and was instantly caught in the planet’s gravitational field.
As the wormhole closed, the box tipped over and over, down towards the green and verdant world below.
The stone skull’s jaws gaped wide and its empty eyes glowed red with the heat of re-entry. As the crate burned and fused around its contents, protecting it as it was designed to do, it slowly began to disintegrate, searing into a shower of bright, tiny rocks that trailed behind the skull like a fiery tail.
Glowing and terrible, the monster screamed towards the Earth, a burning, roaring predator from the sky.
Somewhere below, beside a lake in a warm Jurassic forest, a female megalosaurus broke off from her hunt and turned her eyes up to face her killer.
