[ WP ] A Strange Incident at Sea

Mother, 
 
 I am sorry, but you will not see me again. I will not survive this even if I make it back to shore. I have only prayers that this letter will reach you. I want you to remember what I told you about Nagasaki. They said it was n't safe for us to visit, but once we'd made port I could n't miss the opportunity to see how we'd won the war. I was proud until I saw it. Everything was wiped away, but there were shadows. All of the shadows, people burned away. I could n't imagine a more terrible power, but there is something more on this ship. 
 
 I heard the government men talking about our cargo. We've always kept out lips sealed, but my patriotism has worn thin. We've already brought death to a city from an atom, but this machine... it can bring death to a nation from a man. I hope you can understand. Tomorrow I will become it's atom, and turn the gun on itself. If I must take measures to proceed, then I will know they've made the world safer through their failure. 
 
 D. Sanders.
