The shiny, blue crystals brought pain and death
From DATELINE ZERO — The Last Word On Nothing has a strange and heart-wrenching story of how a town in Brazil ended up contaminated with radioactive cesium chloride.
Goiânia, the capital of the state of Goiás in central Brazil, was host to a clinic using a “radiation therapy machine” in 1971. The practice was later abandoned, and the clinic shut down. They left the machine behind, which sounds like something from a science fiction film; “looks like a cross between an enormous telescope and a dentist’s chair.”
What happens later also seems like the stuff of fiction. In fact, I’m writing a follow up to the title story from The Savior Machine: A brief collection of weird fiction. In it, a health facility using an experiential treatment is closed down. Some dangerous equipment is left behind and, as you probably guessed, people get hurt.
Guess I don’t need to worry that the plot seems contrived. Well, not that part of the plot anyhow.
From the story at The Last Word On Nothing:
