If only it was just that 1 dude

This is some Fallout Nuka-Cola shit.
These kinds of stories are exactly where Fallout themes came from.
My high school drama group did Radium Girls last year. Really good play, the movie is mediocre though. Check out a production if you get a chance.
I read about it several years ago. It's fascinating and sad
I cannot imagine the pain of your fucking skull disintegrating.
"His head was swathed in bandages. He had undergone two successive operations in which his whole upper jaw, excepting two front teeth, and most of his lower jaw had been removed. All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating, and holes were actually forming in his skull.".
Not just his skull, too. That's horrifying.

The jaw is part of the skull, still horrifying though, hard agreement there.
Wonder if it destroyed his nerve ending at the same rate. One can only hope.
That story is a wild ride.
If by that you mean, "wtf?!" I agree.
He died as he lived.
Faintly glowing?
No head?
