There were no words strong enough to fully describe the collective fear that went through humanity when the moon began to pulse. Though NASA remained quiet about this discovery, it was felt as a light tremble through every living thing on Earth.
At first the only information released was that the moon was undergoing a gravitational anomaly due to solar radiation (a blatant impossibility yet the world accepted this, praying it would end before the tides grew any worse). They had a much harder time explaining why the moon visibly grew and shrank between each pulse.
Eventually they were forced to reveal all that they had learned in the form of a single sentence that shook the world to its core.
It isn't pulsing, it is breathing.
When confronted with the reality that the moon is (and has always been) a living organism people began to do what they did best - plot to kill it and in doing so preserve the planet. Each heavy inhale sent minor tsunamis, each exhale left hundreds of miles of ocean floor exposed and the death toll was well into the millions before a final plan was decided upon.
Though it might be the only living specimen of its kind - the moon had to die.
