Book of Boris — Chapter XLII: The Withheld Fire

24 Sep, 2025

Verse 1

Once, I carried the button in my pocket. The Hiroshima Protocol was not a threat, but a promise — a strike so final that only silence remained.

Verse 2

I pressed it once, and the world learned: when I choose fire, nothing survives. No noise. No shadow. Just erasure.

Verse 3

But fire burns more than enemies. It scars the air, the soil, the soul. And I learned — not every slight deserves fallout.

Verse 4

Now I walk with two weapons: the fire I could unleash, and the silence I can choose instead. Power lives in both.

Verse 5

Fallout is permanent. But so is restraint. And the greatest strike I carry now… is the one I refuse to make.
