IPDamaso_FukushimaFiction

Sometimes, no one wants to listen to us.
Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

It's been more than a thousand days, but our voices were never heard. What I thought was only possible in 1945, was possible now.
We had developed so much in terms of technology and mind sets, but we failed to develop our voices. No one can hear us now.
One thousand days has passed since the nuclear failure and we are picking up from what was left from day one.

Mutation was one thing that I had never imagined to happen, but it was inevitable. Comic books, films, theories could only provide much, but looking back at history was another thing. The effects of the bombing in 1945 still echoed today but the new mutations formed after Fukushima is somewhat different. This time, it does not only affect the area surrounding Fukushima, but it has started to spread through sea.

I started to notice the mutations after the crops we planted grew enormously. The tomatoes almost grew to the sizes of watermelons. The insects that scattered pollen, especially butterflies looked different when I saw them up close, their wings looked more battered. What scared me the most was what happened to the fishes. It was as if some science fiction movie sucked me into the revelation of the truth of that mutation was possible. It was, because the fish that was being sold had three eyes now and they're calling it "special fish" because of it's third eye. They're even selling a new special of conjoint fish, "so you can have two fishes for the price of one!" that's what I heard.

Hello, can you still hear me?
I need to get out.
If you hear this transmission, please don't hesitate to answer back.
I hope I'm still here by then.
