It's really horrifying.

Like, I even found, like, a little bit of a write-up that kind of can paint that picture, like, really vividly.

And I implore the audience just to imagine whatever city you're in, whatever place you're in, just imagine you see this light.

And it's beyond... It's not the sun.

It's, like, beyond...

It's nothing you've ever comprehended before.

If you're in the blast zone, you're immediately eviscerated.

You don't even know that it happened by the time you're dead.

And as a quote, I think maybe you mentioned last time we spoke that the living would envy the dead is sort of how people I think around Hiroshima described the fallout.

Of course.

I think you're maybe more aware than the average person of just how horrific this may be.

That's how I felt, even thinking about it.

I've read descriptions that if you held your hand up, you might see your bones through your hand.

There's literally a radiation effect that if you're somehow outside the blast zone, you're going to see your bones inside your own hand.

I know.

And from that moment, then all of a sudden, the heat...

And you wouldn't even hear it at first.

You would just see this bright light.

You would probably feel the heat.

And it's, like you mentioned, hotter than the sun.
