I am the author. Naturally, I think it's great. But you decide!
A long, long, long time ago, back when I was in high school during the Reagan years, a nuclear power plant exploded in what is now Ukraine, Chernobyl. It was a massive, life changing event. Canned goods, parents putting their kids on iodine pills, cattle had to stay indoors. The nuclear fallout, the actual cloud containing the radioactive toxins, spread all over North-Western Europe, including Amsterdam, the Netherlands where I lived. I was 16 then.

Batshit crazy parable about the dangers of nuclear power, written in 1980's England - and despite the fact that Mrs Empty isn't mentioned once by name, there's no mistaking it. Somewhat dated as a cautionary tale now, although as Fukushima and other places demonstrate, not dated enough.
I am taking my own life because I am being used for misguided and exploitative capitalistic purposes
