Before the firestorm


The only photo in pre-holocaust Japan.

Holocaust: noun - the destruction or slaughter on a mass scale caused by fire or nuclear storm

Somewhere between Tokyo and Hiroshima; outside Kyoto. There she stands overlooking the bay -the breeze and warm air coming off the land mixing with the smells of the ocean.

What could she know of the horrors looming? What could she know of the incineration; the sins of the generation - the sins of her government?

What inflection of fate was about to turn life upside down? It was coming; it was coming and it would take over.
