[ WP ] A miscommunication resulted in Allied bombers dropping an actual fat man and little boy onto Japanese soil .

JULY 28, 1945. 
 
 `` Mr. President. The Japanese have decided to ignore the Potsdam Declaration.'' 
 
 The room immediately broke into cacophony, disciplined generals and advisors breaking their composure to advise the President. 
 
 `` We need to invade them, that'll show those Japs!'' 
 
 `` No, an Allied invasion is too risky, you've seen the Japs' crazed loyalty to their homeland'' 
 
 `` Well what else is there for us to do!? Sit back and watch them!?'' 
 
 `` No, bu-'' 
 
 *'' Gentlemen,'' * 
 
 The President's voice silenced all who were present. The few men standing stared awkwardly for a while, before slowly sliding back into their chairs. 
 
 `` we *do* have an alternative.'' 
 
 Shock runs through the room. Hesitantly, a general speaks up. 
 
 `` With all due respect, sir, under the Quebec Agre-'' 
 
 `` A month ago the British have consented to the use of the weapon against the Japanese. The ball is now in our court. And I say we use it. 
 
 
 AUGUST 5, 1945. 
 
 `` Colonel, you have been ordered to depart for Hiroshima, and drop the Little Boy.'' 
 
 `` The little boys, sir? But, what about the children's safety?'' 
 
 `` The safety of Jap children is of no concern to us, Colonel. Do your job. Oh, and, we're only dropping one of them, not all of them. Do n't wan na waste those suckers.'' 
 
 The Colonel was confused. The little boys were n't Japanese, but American. Left to his own devices by his commanding officer, he sighed in defeat, hoping that his commanders knew what they were doing. 
 
 
 AUGUST 6, 1945. 
 
 At 0245, the Enola Gay departed from North Field for Hiroshima. At 08:15 local time, the Little Boy was dropped from the plane, screaming and shouting for his life as he fell through the air. 
 
 The Colonel shook his head, bemoaning the war, as he piloted the Enola Gay back to home base. 
 
 The boy slammed into the ground and was killed instantly. The incident was reported in the local news, and became a major discussion in the city. Why would the Americans kill one of their own? Was it a threat? 
 
 
 AUGUST 7, 1945. 
 
 The Japanese General Staff were in chaos. 
 
 `` Emperor, the Americans are willing to kill one of their own to show their ruthlessness! We must surrender at once else they kill every last one of us!'' 
 
 `` Emperor, that only shows the barbaric nature of our enemy! We must strengthen ourselves and purify the world of these monsters!'' 
 
 The Emperor, silent and aloof, stood up and left.

 I ca n't really think of a compelling way for the Fat Man to be dropped, nor is my historical knowledge that good, so I'll just leave it off here, sorry. I may or may not continue depending on if I can think of a way to end it.
