Nagasaki…500 feet above my head….

August 8th, 2012

..September 2008 Nagasaki, Japan..

….500 feet above my head the 2nd atomic bomb detonated on August 9th, 1945. Blood, fire, black rain, and heat engulfed everywhere around me. For a split second the temperature at the epicenter reached 1 million degrees.

….100 feet to my right corpses piled on the river creating a dam of death that stopped the flow of water. The Urakami Cathedral a 1/2 mile down the street collapsed and fell down a hillside. Part of the tower still sits at the bottom.

The world had gone MAD. Never have we witnessed the level of insanity experienced in 1945. What did we do here? Nothing can justify this atrocity. To think this could happen again terrifies me.

..2nd day in Nagasaki at the epicenter of the atomic bomb, I don’t think the entire story has ever been told or ever will be comprehended.

You can’t learn to Love someone.

Vladivostok… the lonely forgotten port empire sitting on the End of Nowhere. Who are you? You vex my dreams and nightmares.

If I could get there in a minute and get back in 2 minutes, I would stay for 3 minutes. A point on the way to another destination. What’s down there, what does it feel like?

You’ve been forgotten by Everyone. Except for those who make the trip to the Edge of the World. I can’t get You out of my mind. And I want to forget you.
