I heard a notification alarm from my phone, I am deliberating between check it now or completing this code I am working on. I know for sure if I leave it now, I will not come to it till God knows when. Either ways I have been working all day a little break will not hurt.
As I switch on my phone, The notification is a message from Steve one of my friends from work. It made me really curious and to make it worse it is a video. Downloaded it, I could not prepare myself for the horror I am about to witness.
I feel my blood go cold with what I am watching. It is a massive massacre of civilians by my country's government.
The video is not more than 30 seconds long so I can't analyze it well, but I am already shaking. A lot of questions are going through my mind at the same time. Why? How? When?
The "when" question is answered almost immediately as the caption that followed the message says "from yesterday"
This feeling I am having is not just because people were killed but because of something else. I got my laptop immediately to make more research on the attack.
My nightmare became a reality and I can my kneels going cold, I sank back into my chair. I caused this, I killed those people. I am a murder, are just few of the depressing thoughts that is running through my mind.
They say every artist knows his art, this is the same with this. I created the software that was used in deploying those bombs. I created it when I was freelancing for the government. Omg I was told it was to deliver to refugee camps not for killing. I created it for precision and accuracy, that's why immediately I saw the video I shaked up.
I could feel myself tearing up. "This isn't the time for tears", I picked up my laptop. I have to find a way to stop this.
