The neat thing about this story is how it's based off of an actual event that occurred a few decades ago. However, even though the radiation caused severe mutations in some of the victims of the Chernobyl Disaster, this "blackbird" seems a little too fantastical to be a result of the incident. For this reason, "The Blackbird of Chernobyl" transcends the fantasy-realism bridge, and it has been a great read. Nice work.
