Description When students crawled out from the collapsed school building, the teacher told us to go down to the riverbank and escape along the river. It was dusky, the sun was a murky white, and we heard no sound. Standing out in the gray landscape were small white clouds of smoke over the bridge and fire on the opposite bank. I thought, this must be what hell is like.
