Another story of a world unknown

Through my continuous reading of Voices of Chernobyl I have come across another heart breaking story. A story of loss and despair comes forth through the voice of a young women and her mother. They are torn. their lives have been shattered. The daughter i pregnant...with a ball of radiation. She cries constantly at the thought of how everyone was left unaware of the true disaster that was occuring. Her baby. She mourns for her baby and cries at the thought of what she might look like. Her mother cries at the loss of her husband and the pain he went through. She knows that her fate is soon to be the same and she doesn't care. They live in the woods on the outskirts of the Zone but still within the radiation. The aren't allowed to leave. The soldiers keep them in. They have tried to sneak out multiple times but the guards have set up boarders all around the area. Those who make it out are already dead.
