Hell and Damnation
The fires of hell is what desperate Australians living in the country's southeast are experiencing; the inferno of the fiery gases; molten metals irradiated by the hellfires of the Big Bang realized. The hell is the experience of living through those all-consuming fires fed by wind and the hottest, driest environmental disaster that Australia has suffered through in its living memory.
The damnation represents the shrivelled souls of those pyromaniacs who were incapable of resisting the urge to encourage further fires for the sheer lunatic, manic pleasure of witnessing hell unleashed on earth. In the process victimizing helpless people, unable to find shelter anywhere from the searing, raging fires. Already several hundred Australians have lost their lives to the unstoppable fires.
The country's prime minister has it on good authority that arson was involved in some of the outbreaks, leading Mr. Rudd to characterize those who set fires as being guilty of "mass murder". Towns that were so short a time ago vibrant with life and activity no longer exist as they were. The areas consumed by the fires that fed indiscriminately upon everything now resemble the black and barren fall-out of a nuclear event.
Two people have so far been charged with arson in New South Wales; one a 31-year-old man who stands accused of a major blaze north of Sydney, another a 15-year-old-boy accused of setting an explosive in the Blue Mountains near Sydney. These actions and the people involved will live in infamy in their country, although neither of the fires set by the two has resulted in deaths.
Fire experts have investigated and their findings are that some of the lethal fires were deliberately set. Forensic investigators are busy in the Kingslake area, the scene of hundreds of destroyed homes. Countless people died horrible deaths sitting helplessly in their vehicles as the fires overtook them and consumed them. Within destroyed homes in the towns that once were, are other residents, also consumed by fire.
People are wandering the destroyed areas in shock, hopelessly looking for family members. Survivors who have suffered dreadful burns will never be the same. Children who were desperately trying to stay alive, huddling with their parents as the fires raged nearby, turning the atmosphere a fearsome bright orange may never be able to live normal lives.
The ground where fires consumed those towns and the people within, along with countless animals, left burned and desiccated everywhere, will recover in time. Now a scene of desolation, burned, blackened, all living things consumed, it will return to life and to promise.
Those who were killed in the passage of the searing winds, engulfed by flames they could not outpace, will become historical footnotes.
