Description All of a sudden I found my classmate Yamamoto coming up along side of me. Both of us had peeling and drooping off of our hands and feet, and our clothing had be burnt to tatters. Yamamoto just cried, "Mommy…Mommy…" I scolded and tried to encourage him, "Don't cry! Get control of yourself!" Along the way, I was frightened when we ran across a man walking along whose whole upper body was red with the skin peeling away.
