Hell-Fire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hell-Fire is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov, originally published in Amazing Stories, April 1951.
It is extremely short, and deals with a journalist who's speaking at the first exhibition of a film with super-slow footage of the first nuclear bomb with one of the Alamogordo scientists. The scientist is sure that nuclear bombs are hellfire, and tells the journalist they shall ultimately destroy mankind. After the scientist's asseverations, the film starts-and shows that for a brief moment, the atomic blast, before initiating the full reaction into the infamous nuclear toadstool, has resebled a specific shape-that of a demon.
