Life turns from everyday pleasures, to a Hell on Earth of destruction, confusion and madness. A cultured lady playing her Koto in the garden, becomes a spirit ceaselessly roaming the wasteland like a ghost. People writhe and dance in agony. A samurai dreams of an honorable battle and awakes to the nightmare of no foe to face. People search for anything from their old life that makes sense, and find only sickness and chaos. Everything is left burning and ashen before fireworks in the sky, like tiny atoms in the air, explode to the end. Written by Samb Hicks See less
