An Orange colored Sun
On August 6th of 1945, at 8:13 a.m., loud screams could be heard with the emotions that were overwhelming everyone. Looking up, the orange color of the sun, along with the sound of the plane overhead, as I covered my head a huge BANG came, and the entire barracks was blown away, many people losing consciousness as a result. From behind a window sill, the hell that was the reality in front of me, was being taken in by my eyes, accompanied with the groans of its victims.
