Drawn by Tadako Fujishige (20 at time of bombing, 80 at time of drawing)

On the 6th, I silently kept shooing flies away throughout night.
As soon as the big flies flew in from nowhere, they deposited white eggs on skin that was peeled open by burns or on cuts. Then maggots began crawling immediately. Flies came no matter how much I shooed them away with a fan.
