Situation |
I had gone into the toilet, when there was a dazzling flash at the window. I thought how strange that was, and at that moment the blast struck. The earthen walls collapsed and the window glass shattered and scattered. I extinguished the burning washing, but the fires were closing in, so I mounted my bicycle’s carrier rack and got away to Yoshida-cho through the night.
