Amidst the Chaos (R-18)

"I…" My voice was heavy, each breath ragged, strained. "Am…" 

"…Nuclear." 

The word lingered in the air, My lips moved, barely a whisper escaping, yet no one around could hear it. 

The moment the word left my lips, the sky erupted into a blinding flash of light. It was as if the heavens themselves cracked open, spilling an unbearable light over the city. Buildings groaned under the sheer pressure, and the air trembled with an unseen force. 

People screamed, shielding their eyes, stumbling in confusion. The Queen herself recoiled, her arms flying up to protect her face from the overwhelming glow. 

And then, silence. 

The light vanished as suddenly as it came. 

When the Queen dared to open her eyes, the city lay under a serene, clear night sky. The stars twinkled above, as if mocking the chaos that had just unfolded.
