Stunning climax--startling choice of AFAR--then comes the devastating punch! Effective contrast with depiction of calm nature scene--single orange koi--vivid imagery!

What a contrast between the calm pond and the nuclear detonation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. I like the serenity of the lady riding the koi and the dragon flies around. They look very peaceful yet it was short lived.
Well done.

Well done. I like the suggestion that even when destruction was going on, the fish swam peacefully in the pond. Even in dark times, there is always a place of safety and peace.

What a powerful image of this delicate flower inside her sanctuary juxtaposed to the violence outside. This is inspired. You build an entire world in just a few words. Stunning.

Your words have an impact on the reader. A friend has a koi pond and they are so beautiful. The image of the mushroom cloud is haunting. Excellent theme and 5-7-5 form.
