| Description | “A-bomb experience of a 13-year-old boy” Artist: Seigo Nishioka I was in a daze when I heard someone calling, “Hey, hey!” I looked towards where the voice was coming from, and it was the scariest upperclassman. He said in a weak voice while looking at me, “I'm ______ in __ grade of __ division. Bring me some water.” I pulled my aching legs together and did a military salute, and answered loudly, “I will bring you some water, sir!” But I could not find a faucet or any containers for water, and I had no clue what to do. After a while, someone told me, “If you give water to burn victims, they'll die.” I hesitated a while, but I walked away. |
