A normal morning, another day, a peaceful lie. A brutal ending, but humble beginnings. Those who looked up saw the flash of neither sun nor star, it fell. I looked around, I saw creatures I couldn’t comprehend. Their hair falling from their scalp, their skin tearing away, their eyes melting. It seemed out of reaction they protected those closest to them, perhaps for comfort. There was not enough time to know what happened, nuclear war. Innocent souls. We did not fight.
