Survivor

On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl 4 reactor exploded near Pripyat, Ukrain, allowing clouds of radioactive smoke to be released into the atmosphere. Thousands of people died of radiation related deaths. The Soviet Union covered up the incident, so we have no exact number of deaths. This book is dedicated to the workers and firefighters who fought the fires at Chernobyl, and to everyone that died because of it.

4/26/86: The workers here at Chernobyl just conducted a test on the reactor. I don't know much about it, but I know it failed. The reactor's making funny noises. It'll sort itself out... I have such a terrible headache. I need a painkiller.

4/27 I haven't had time to write... terrible events have happened.I smelled steam! I should have said something! I remember a noise, and a flash of light! The roof flew up, if I remember right. The noise like a thousand banshees! I ran! Things crashed around me! I didn't know what to do... I ran to the woods. I didn't know what else to do... I'm exhausted. I'll write some more soon.
