Description | When washing my face with a bloody nose at a well outside, large drops of rain began splashing down. “America sprinkled petroleum!” “Maybe they’re trying to annihilate us by setting fire on the mountain.” Our faces stiff with fear, all of us ran into air-raid shelters. The rain, which had been mixed with pitch black sand, stained our bloody outer garments and bandages with black dots. It was later revealed that this black rain was a dangerous rain containing radioactivity. |
