Mary was staring at it as well, but spoke quietly, “ Don’t touch it—you’ll die. Those things are a  protective layer that prevents nuclear radiation from destroying the passage.“

“Nuclear radiation?“ I exclaimed in surprise as I came to immediate realization. “Would you  mind elaborating, Mary? I once dreamed about arriving at the merfolk’s planet, and that place…  became a mass grave under the sea. Forgive me for asking, but does that have something to do  with nuclear radiation as well?“

Everything you saw was real, and what was once home is now a huge graveyard—just like the  citizens of Hiroshima, the merfolk there were instantly reduced to fossils and wiped out like the  dinosaurs! “
