On August 8, Mommy came to see us. That was the last time we saw her.
She brought me the mompe she had just made for me. All of a sudden, we
heard the air-raid sirens. Mommy hurried back to Urakami to see if everything
was all right. Before she ran down the hill, she patted me on the head and promised,
"Next time I'll bring tempura and manju."
The next morning I missed Mommy, and so did Makoto.We desided to go to Urakami.
We were just going out. Then the air-raid sirens started again. Soon we heard the sound
of a plane. We were very disappointed because we had to give up going to Urakami. I started
to play house on the engawa. Cicadas were making a lot of noise.
All of a sudden, there was a great big flash. It was like lightning.
I was very surprised. I didn't know what it was. There was a big noise, then came a strong wind,
which almost blew me over. I lay down on my face and stayed there with my hands over my ears.
After a while, I took my hands away from my ears. I couldn't hear the
cicadas. They weren't singing any more. I opened my eyes and got up. Oh,my! What a terrible sight!
