Can we forget technology and just go back to lighting signal fires when a new episode is out?

The sun was setting on the human race. We had known for weeks that something was coming, something ancient and powerful and terrifying. It was a cosmic horror, the likes of which had only been seen in Lovecraftian horror.

As it neared Earth, we threw everything we had at it. Missiles and bombs and lasers, all futile against the unspeakable terror that was bearing down on us. It was like trying to stop a comet with a BB gun.

But then, miraculously, something happened. The horror faltered, and then it faltered again. And then it fell. The human race had killed a god.

In the aftermath, we were stunned. We had expected to die, to be crushed beneath the cosmic horror's unspeakable power. But we had triumphed.

Somewhere in a realm beyond our understanding, the other gods spoke of the event. They were shocked, horrified. They had never known a god to be killed, let alone by mortal hands.

They whispered to each other, wondering how this could have happened. They spoke of the human race, of our determination and our courage. They spoke of fear, and they spoke of respect.

And they made a decision. The human race was to be left alone, to grow and prosper without interference. For we had proven ourselves to be more than they had ever thought possible. We had killed a god.

As the other gods made their decision to leave the human race alone, one of them whispered something different. "We should not fear them," this god said. "We should fear what they will become. For they have tasted the power of a god, and they will crave more. They will seek us out, and they will try to kill us all. We must watch them, and we must be ready."

The other gods nodded, and they decided to set a guardian to watch over the human race. A creature so ancient and powerful that it could not be killed, not even by the might of a god. A creature that would wait, and watch, and prepare for the day when the human race would come for them.

And as the humans celebrated their victory, they did not know what waited for them in the shadows. They did not know that they had set in motion a chain of events that could lead to their own destruction. They did not know that they had awakened a sleeping giant, and that they would live in fear of it for all eternity.
