[ WP ] `` Daddy , are we the bad guys ? ''

We've been on the run for years now, but my boy and I are going to make it. We ’ re going to make the change my wife set out to make so many years ago. We ’ re going to end the world. 
 
 I know that sounds crazy, but it ’ s what she really wanted. And once you think about it, it ’ s only logical. Our world is so broken. It will take thousands of year to get civilization where it needs to be, and so many lives will be lost in the process. This is the most logical way to deal with the matter, we will nuke it all and start again. 
 
 But we ’ re here now, at the control panel. It ’ s obvious that we went through a lot to get here. Our family has seen the birth of two children, the death of one, and the loss of an amazing leader and mother. None of that matters now. Their deaths will not be in vain. We will end it here and now. 
 
 My son and I are at the control center for the russian nuclear system. Tensions have been so high between Russia and the rest of the world that this will surely end it all. Nuclear weapons are now commonplace in semi wealthy countries arsenals and they are all to afraid to be the first one to fire away. We will not shy away. The world is already set ablaze with anticipation, we will simply bring it to fruition. So here we sit, keys in hands, ready to end it all. 
 
 “ Daddy, are we the bad guys? ” 
 
 Where did this come from, my son has been nothing but loyal to this cause all seven years of his life? 
 
 “ No, we ’ re just the maintenance men giving the world a reboot ” This is what I would tell my daughter before she killed herself. 
 
 He responds with an entire lack of surety, “ Okay ” 
 
 It ’ s too late to mind the vain wonderings of a child. It ’ s time. 
 I say the word and we turn the keys. 
 
 30 minutes later everything goes up in a white hot flash. 
 
 The heat does n't stop, all I feel is extreme pain and all I see is the smiling face of the devil himself. 
 
 Where have I brought us?
