Description | A-bomb Drawings by Survivors [Artist's comments]Excerpted Under the broiling sun The young girl said, "Are you looking for someone?" That was how I knew she was alive. I saw that her wristwatch was biting into her skin and tried to loosen it, but when I touched the skin on her hand, it slipped off, so I could do nothing for her. At least I wanted to get her out of the sun, but there was no grass, no tree, nothing but broken bricks. She was immobile and helpless under the broiling sun.
