Just about every night I tell stories to my SJSD Dorm II boys (age 8-10), one night I was telling them a story from the "Twilight Zone" comics. A story of a German officer survives several battles during World War II, went to a fortune teller one night where she warns him of the numeral 235 as the symbol of his upcoming death. Hitler assigned him as commander of a U-Boat 235, but he declined the offer, deserting to Japan just before the fall of Berlin, as the Soviet approaches the capital. Settling down in peaceful Hiroshima, he looks up the sky one morning, saw the lone American B-29 bomber, the "Enola Gay" dropping a single bomb. That German officer didn't even bother to head to shelter thinking it's nothing as it's just only one bomb heading toward an open field less than a mile way. He perished in a mushroom cloud that left the entire city in ruins. That bomb, "Little Boy," contains uranium, atomic element #235.
