#fridayfictioneers – September 20, 2024
She and her mother found it when they were cleaning out the attic. Several boxes of what some call uranium glass. Antique glass with a glow in the dark glaze on it from decades ago.
She looked in her books about antique glassware and discovered that it is a much sought-after collectible.
As they got it ready for sale, they noticed the glow in the dark coating was flaking off. Antique collectors bought it anyway.
Later, she found out that the flaking was radioactive. What about the people who bought their glass?
Thanks to Rochelle for continuing to host #FridayFictioneers!

well, maybe they’d get a bit of a ‘glow’ about them, too … 😉 But seriously … I don’t think I’d wanna drink outta these!

I feel sorry for those with large collections who handle their pieces frequently.

It’s good of her to think of the people who bought it.

Oh no! A disaster in the making! Almost a horror story this one. Evil glass that kills the buyer, gets sold and kills again and again. Nicely told
