From the Book of the Covenant: chapter 1,
Verse 1: And so it was that because of the sins of your fathers, The Fallen Ones,
The Lord provided a covenant with you, the cursed ones, The Nephilim.
Verse 2: For if man's ruination of the Earth releases you from your prisons,
Then you shall take his place and lay to waste his children.
Verse 3: And the sun shall grow dim for a time and he shall perish with great
wailing under the curse of the moon.
Verse 4: And just like your fathers before you, you may take as wives and
concubines the daughters of men, and with them, you shall inherit
the Earth.
Verse 5: For thus the Lord has withdrawn his favor of man for you.
______________________________________________________________________________
It was our greed and short-sightedness that released them from under the ocean floor. We had nearly exhausted our fossil fuels and so, despite the warnings from scientists, the politicians approved unrestricted offshore drilling. Geologists warned us that offshore drilling may cause the Earth's plates to start to move more rapidly which in turn would cause more volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and drastic changes to the topography of land masses. No one paid any heed and the massive drills ripped into the deep places of the Earth.
Just as the scientists had predicted, the drilling caused an oceanic earthquake which split open the prisons of the Nephilim. According to some religious texts, the Nephilim were destroyed in the flood of Noah's time, but this was an error in translation of an ancient and dead language. The fathers of the Nephilim, fallen angels, abandoned their fleshly bodies and returned to heaven when the flood started. Because the Nephilim were only half angelic, they were unable to go with their fathers and were left behind on Earth where they subsequently drowned with the rest of humankind. But "drown" was an incorrect translation of the original verb which meant "to submerge." The Nephilim did not in fact drown, but rather were submerged under the Earth's ocean crust. How long depended on us; if our actions brought about an unnatural destructive force on the planet, then the special covenant between God and the Nephilim would be honored, but if we chose to live as caretakers of the planet rather than conquerors, then they would remain entombed forever.
Destruction started with nightfall in North America and from that time on, the sun did not rise anywhere on Earth. Legions of these creatures swept through every city, town and village and slaughtered the men because according to the covenant, it was only the SONS of men that were to be destroyed. Horror stricken women were forced to watch as these huge, fractionally human creatures, killed every male alive; even the male children were slaughtered. Out of sadism, the Nephilim left the destruction of the clerics until the very last. As they gripped copies of their "holy" texts and dropped to their knees to plead with their god to spare them, the creatures would tear them to pieces. For weeks, the sounds of screams were all you could hear.
Following the destruction of men, the women were given a choice; offer themselves as breeding stock to the Nephilim, or face the same fate as their men. Women past childbearing age were given a choice to become midwives, caretakers, and comforters to the women who bore the new race, or else be destroyed. When the final woman made her choice, the sun would once again rise, the covenant would be fulfilled, and a new age would begin. Some of us fled to the caves and sealed ourselves inside in a futile attempt to hide from them, but they found us all the same. I was one of those who fled.
I don't have much time as they have found my group. The screams of the women around me are deafening. I retreated to the furthermost part of the cave and wrote down an accounting of the last days of life as we knew it. If you are reading this, then you are part of the new race and have no knowledge of how you came to be. You weren't predestined for life on this Earth; rather you're here because we humans allowed our arrogance to destroy us.
I see them now. My heart is beating so fast that I'm afraid it will explode. I have made my decision though. I....................................

I so want to know your Axis I & II diagnoses. I would not be surprised at all if Axis II was a lil' ol' thing they call Borderline Personality Disorder.
Which just means you are an emotionally labile, attention seeking, completely unlikeable, dick smudge.

Bonnie, I seriously think this guy takes too many steroids - wouldn't that cause mental behaviors like these??

You get a two, but IMHO this should have been longer with more detail.

Forensic- I SWEAR that was a mistake. It was supposed to be a +2.
I was on my late morning -2 run around Uber and didn't even realize I did that until I just checked back to see if you were offering to send me some new nude pictures.
My bad...how can I make it up to you? Cunnilingus?

I agree it would also be interesting in more detail, but I liked this version as well.

There was so much you could have gone into here that if you'd started adding more detail, it would have probably snowballed until this thing was a novella, so keeping it short for Grueberfest was probably a good instinct. That said, it seems like it would make a good series/cycle, though, if you wanted to develop it.

I really like this concept...but as mentioned below, more detail would be a nice addition. Round two, perhaps?

I'm not keen with the idea that they totally conquer mankind (suggesting some form of supernatural power) yet are able to breed with humans quite easily.
The premise was quite interesting - beasts entombed in the Earth - but it didn't grip me.
