It happened only two months ago. I saw it with my own eyes. I was finishing up with my work and took a quick look outside the window. As I was inspecting the buildings and traffic, a sudden flash of light replaced the darkness.
All the cars had stopped moving and many people were looking up with a shocked face. I needed a few moments to adjust back to the dimmer sky after the bright light had disappeared.There it was: the moon. But not quite like I've seen it my whole life. It had colors. Green. Gold. Blue.
I rushed home, because I had a telescope, so I really wanted to check out that new object, which had just appeared. After I had set up everything, I was ready to take a closer look. There it was, in all its beauty. I still couldn't make much out of it, but I saw moving dots that had me wondering.
Suddenly, however, all the lights went out for a few seconds. I quickly looked up, and to my surprise, the moon was back up again, in all its' whiteness.
The next day, the media was a mess. Everyone was talking about this incident. There were scientists all around the world researching information about this mystery. On the other end, there were protests and fake news everywhere saying that this was the government tricking us.
After a few weeks, NASA has announced that there will be an expedition to the moon on which 100 enthusiastic civilians can participate. Long story short, I made every requirement for my application, and I was actually selected. There was a month of training for the mission, and after that, 40 rockets had been launched from Earth.
The trip took only a few days, but as we were getting closer, each of us started having weird visions. I was lucky enough to only have a few hallucinations, but other members of the crew saw... things. Things of pure evil, as they have been described. It got to a point where people started taking their eyes out with their hands.
My condition was getting worse as well: I felt a headache. Soon I was in a lush environment with green and even golden trees. Rivers as beautiful as one can imagine. Strange, stone-like creatures were roaming around the terrain. They looked happy... Soon, black dots appeared in the sky. The stone man looked up, and after that, they started killing each other and hurting themselves. Black liquid poured from their bodies as they fell to the ground. Minutes after they got up, they started destroying and consuming everything in their path. I was standing there, oblivious to what was going on. I started taking steps back slowly; however, one of them heard me. The last thing I remember from the vision was getting torn in half by a stone creature.
When I opened my eyes, to my horror, I was tied to a chair. I looked at my arms, and my veins were dark black. I yelled:
-"What the fuck??"
-"Don't you what the fuck to me; you just ate one of our crew members!" exclaimed the captain.
-"Wha-, That-, I-, (a sudden feeling of rage filled my body) I DIDN'T"
-"Yes you did, and now please calm the fuck down; we have a long path ahead of us; we are canceling the mission!"
-"We can't return I had a vi-" (my sight had disappeared, I only heard the sounds of flesh tearing apart ahead of me. After that, I felt a sort of connection in front of me. Like I felt that other person standing there. In fact, I felt it everywhere around me—40 different piles of energy heading towards our home...

Reply to [WP]For centuries, the moon was a barren rock. But one day, it transformed into a lush, habitable world. The sudden change shocked humanity, and they scrambled to investigate. But just as quickly as it appeared, the moon reversed back to its original form, leaving scientists puzzled by Armadillo_Signal
