It was a clear May morning in Merida. The sun was just rising over the buildings, making the making them glow a faint orange. David Gershom sat at a Cafe in the heart of Merida. He was sipping a cup of black coffee and reading the newspaper. He was in an "intense" mood. David had something in store for the city of Merida today, the anniversary of the day King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella expelled the Sephardim from all of Spain.
"That will be all Alberto, and please hurry with the check, I have somewhere to be."
"Where are you off to today, David? Going to worship your 'Yahweh'?" Alberto Chuckled, but to his surprise David chuckled too. Everyday he demeaned the Jews and everyday David responded with an angry snarl or gesture.
"Heh, well I hope you worship your God, or whatever it is you pray to. It's a shame, I liked this coffee too." David walked off.
Alberto was confused, but he continued working. At around noon he went outside to change the menus to the lunch set. He noticed that there was something in the garden. He walked over to investigate. It was a large black package. He put it to his ear and he heard some ticking. He looked down the street. it seemed there were similar packages in front of a few buildings on the street.
He looked at his watch and saw the hand strike twelve. It was the last thing he saw as his body vaporized, along with the street. The box had been filled with a dirty bomb. On the street there had been three like it, with another 3 scattered around the city.
Huge explosions were heard from the streets. Smaller TNT filled boxes went off minutes later. Disorder ruled the streets that afternoon as people tried to get away from the explosions. Some people ran through fallout. Other people were trampled. Buildings were ablaze, with fires spreading through the tight streets. You could hear screaming and crying everywhere and smoke enveloped the city. Then the west wing of the Republican Palace erupted in flames.
At 1500 all television stations and radio stations went fuzzy. Then Hamsah appeared on all the television stations, followed by David Gershom. "People of the Republic of Spain. Today you have witnessed a show of force. Today you have witnessed your Capital erupt in a fire of heat and anarchy. Well the Sephardic Hamsah has merely imparted the beginning of the punishment Spain will receive for the years of torment and oppression that Spain has imparted on the Sephardim. But don't worry, this is not the end of your Penance. Currently, there are several towns under our control, and several more that are ready to receive punishment. It is time to pay for Spain's corruption. The Sephardim will rise correct Spain's Path. The Iberian will be liberated."
