Nucleus

I am a woman trapped. I have come to know the true feelings of my sworn 
enemy. I have become Pandora's box in human form, the keeper of deadly and 
mysterious knowledge. I have to make the decision to lose my voice and leave 
my loved ones sightless or abase those close to me in a struggle for our justice. 
When did right become wrong? Seven lives rest on my fingertips so I cannot 
wash my hands of this dilemma. It's suicide. Somebody's going to die and since 
it's killing me... who will it be?
