Life at Chernobyl

The monsters

In the movies are compelling.

Evil

And frightening

And overwhelmingly different.

Not all monsters can be

Seen as something interesting.

For lack of a better word,

Cool.

Some have small,

Unassuming differences.

A malformed limb here,

A missing tooth there.

Gamma rays don't always make the Hulk.

Sometimes, they create

A bunny rabbit

In pain, dying young.

Sometimes the monsters are mundane,

And sometimes that's important

Because it shows us

They were never really monsters in the first place.
