One Second Before

“To whom it may concern,”

One second before, Earth had stopped. I became God. I now knew that some people will love me, and some people will hate me. I now knew that my light will burn the skin of the enemy, and I knew that my voice would rumble the ground. I radiate with a force that topples buildings and throws the sinful back.

I knew that I harnessed a power that no human could ever imagine. When I reveal myself to the world, it will stop turning entirely. Destruction will ensue. And I like it. I now knew that we could have waited for this to happen, and we could have harnessed this power for good, not for evil.

However, you have caused me to do the opposite. I must go through with this, but the chances are you won’t learn from me, even if I reveal myself to the world. Remember me afterwards, and learn from me.

But…

That’s just what God knows. I am not a creation of God. I am a creation of man, and if I’ve learned anything about us; then revealing myself will make things worse. After that one second, the world continues, and I have revealed myself to the world.

That note was found near the drop hatch in the Enola Gay. On the back, it said in all capital letters: “TAPE TO L.B.”
