They are gateways capable of transporting living beings between worlds. For generations, the inhabitants have lived with an ancient warning: never accidentally break a mirror.\n\nBecause when a mirror is broken by accident, something unimaginable happens.\n\nThe person who breaks it is transported from their planet to Earth.\n\nBut they don't arrive as themselves.\n\nThey are transformed into stone, becoming a statue somewhere on Earth. They are frozen in place, unable to move, unable to escape and unable to communicate with the humans who walk past them every day.\n\nAnd this has been happening for thousands of years.\n\nThe aliens have no idea where their missing people go. On their planet, those who accidentally break mirrors simply disappear. They become part of an ancient mystery that has haunted their civilisation for generations.\n\nOn Earth, meanwhile, the statues are regarded as works of art, monuments and landmarks.\n\nNobody knows that some of them are alive.\n\nNobody knows that behind the stone is an alien mind, trapped and watching the world go by.\n\nAnd the phenomenon is even stranger than humanity could imagine.\n\nMultiple alien beings can occupy the same physical statue, yet each experiences its own separate reality. To each trapped being, they are the only consciousness imprisoned inside the stone. They have no knowledge that others may be sharing the same statue.\n\nFor centuries, the aliens have remained trapped on Earth, locked inside stone bodies scattered across the planet.\n\nUntil one human discovers the truth.\n\nA way to reverse the process.\n\nA way to release the beings from their stone prisons and return them to physical form.\n\nAt first, it seems like humanity has uncovered one of the greatest discoveries in history. The statues are not monuments—they are living extraterrestrial prisoners who have been trapped on Earth against their will.\n\nBut the rescue soon becomes a nightmare.\n\nThe beings are not peaceful.\n\nAfter centuries of imprisonment, they have developed an intense hatred for Earth and the humans who unknowingly became part of their torment. They don't see themselves as invaders.\n\nThey see themselves as victims coming home.","html":"","width":500,"height":480,"thumbnail_url":"https://v.monophonic.digital/content/baeaaaiqsecwqxujhcfie22lem2pd6dt57vkhjdzirihtso2aecuorkrizuz64/480x480.jpg","thumbnail_width":480,"thumbnail_height":480,"author_name":"Justin Empire","author_url":"https://audius.co/kissinginlove","cache_age":3600}
