Bright Lights at Night

Chuck the Mantis Shrimp emerged from his burrow and tuned his vision for the bright lights shining through the ocean’s surface. An overwhelming sense of doom overtook his mind.

“Why is it so bright right now? It’s nighttime” he thought to himself.

There were lights and colors that are far beyond what any other animal can see. For some reason he could see more light then ever before. The ultraviolet lights were beautiful but the infrared lights hurt like nothing he had felt before. It was to much. Nothing could block out these bright lights at night.

He knew but the rest of the animal kingdom had no clue of the terror unfolding atop the Bikini Atoll.
