So sad. Such a hopeless situation. I guess it shows people's resiliency, that they carry on through this. I like the little touches in this story, like the fact that after a while the government can't really be bothered to monitor the soldiers any more.

Thank you so much for the comment (and for editing!) - I like that the hopelessness came through (evoking emotions always makes me happy), though I'll admit, it is a bleak story. :) Thank you for reading!
