Hello again! This week’s 8 are a continuation of last week’s 8. Comments are welcomed, of course. This is from ‘The Vista’, a sci-fi thing I whipped up and is due for release this month!

“Was the radiation higher or lower than Missouri Breaks?”
“Higher.”
“I’m glad you stayed away, good call.” No emotion about it.
“I’m sorry,” she offered.

Hmm… first she says “low levels” of radiation, but then it’s higher than she wants to deal with. Should she or shouldn’t she be concerned? I’m curious about Butte and Missouri Breaks. I associate Butte with Montana.

Butte is indeed in Montana. She should be concerned.

Butte, Montana is a great place for Saint Patty’s day. Though, it would be hard to imagine a place larger with higher levels of toxicity.
