What prompted finding it was precisely a "FACE YOUR FEARS"
situation:
A friend posted a Vine and in 6 seconds, flashed every fear that
he had and said in the comment, "Don't judge, please." Of course
someone did but such is what happens when you put yourself "out
there".
Anyway it made me think: What are some of my childhood fears
that I might still carry? Why not face some of them? And "The
Bomb" was the one that ran its course not just through my
childhood but through the childhoods of two or three generations
of people; millions and millions of people.
Of course I say "childhood fears", but we carry those fears
through the entire course of our lives, if left unchecked, which
is why I try to work on them when I think of it.
Finding this was amazing and disturbing. I made two Vines. One
of the Flash, with the mushroom cloud JUST forming at the end -
and then it loops around to repeat, as if a nuclear blast was
happening over and over again... and the other was the sound,
which is nothing like what I heard my whole life in all the
movies I've ever seen.
This was real.
Which part got me the most? The EMP (electromagnetic pulse) you
can hear in the moments that everything turns PURE WHITE. That
thub-thub-thub-thub-thub will stay with me.
