Scattered Media

Radioactive dust.
Iodine
Rain snow.
Contamination.
Media alerts,
reports alarm,
they scatter information
the way radioactive dust
travels in the air.
Monitor.
Progress.
Challenges.
Bombarded with information,
then silence,
sprinkles,
almost forgotten.
A new story
They scatter new dust.
