Early Morning Sunshine

The flimsy sheet of x-ray sensitive film blows in the breeze slightly as Ray Milland warms up the x-ray generator half a mile away. He was attempting to create an x-ray image of the landscape by blasting entire horizons with radioactive beams. There was a thudding noise in the background as Milland showed me his earlier work. A field of horse skeletons. A street of ghostly cars and the blurs of humans walking around with no skin or muscle. A section of forest, lit up like the night sky with the abundance of animals, birds and insects standing out in stark contrast on the blue, black background. "I plan on aerial photography next." he said to himself.
