Godzilla

Author’s Note: this piece was created to retell the events of the monster movie classic “Godzilla”

1954, during the First World War, Japan was testing nuclear bombs in the pacific. One was the H-bomb, an Atomic Bomb. After testing, the radiation had affected any living thing within a 10 mile radius. One of them was presumed to be a lizard, an iguana type animal. The radiation transformed it (The lizard)  into one of Japan’s worst nightmares, a monster, “Gojira”, A monster, 300 foot tall, with large spikes on its back, and the worst part, it could breathe a atomic “ray” that can send a force of an atomic bomb. What really happened the time when Godzilla was formed?

The main capital of Japan, Tokyo, after the first attack from Godzilla, a sea of fire from the monster’s havoc.  Then it disappeared into the depths of the pacific, where it rested in a trench. Since then until 1955 there have been many attacks from Godzilla, mostly attacking Power sources and nuclear plants. Why? Somehow, the energy given from those areas attracted Godzilla because Godzilla is made up of radiation, so it would think that there would be another let’s say Godzilla, and needed to protect his territory.

One day, a man named Dr. Serizawa invented something worse than the Atomic Bomb, the Oxygen destroyer. It lived up to its name. The chemical compound can destroy any oxygen within a large radius (Hasn’t been tested on land for obvious reasons) so when Godzilla headed into Tokyo bay once again from another attack, they dove after the beast.

The divers found Godzilla resting along the trench, they place the bomb and one of the divers went up, but Dr. Serizawa stayed down, saying “I will die with my work, so no more copies of this weapon or my knowledge can be used for weaponry”. So he cuts his line of air, and he set off the Oxygen destroyer, and Godzilla and Serizawa, were both disinagrated within seconds, and other livings under the water for a large radius. And all of the troubles are over. Japan is finally in peace, but Godzilla will forever be in everyone’s nightmares. This, is what the time when Godzilla was formed, and the citizens of Japan were affected by it.
