a ball of fire.
Everyone calls it
a mushroom cloud.
But it wasn't a cloud.
lt was a pillar of fire.
A huge pillar of fire.
l woke up
and looked around.
l saw an incredible sight.
People with their
eyes hanging out.
People who were
completely burned.
Their skin was shredded
and hanging off
their bodies.
''Please help me,
please help me!''
they cried out.
People with no arms,
no legs,
their intestines
spilling out,
brains spilling out
And near ground zero,
there were black,
carbonized bodies
burned beyond
recognition.
People in
unimaginable states.
So many dead.
One woman was
carrying a baby.
The baby
had no head.
l was so scared
The woman said,
''Give me water!''
l felt paralyzed.
What could l do?
l was 10 years old.
l had to take care
of my sister.
So l left the woman
and went to
help my sister.
At our orphanage,
there were a lot
of little babies
Most of them
died instantly,
crushed when
the building collapsed.
Although some were
alive for awhile,
they did not survive.
My sister
had passed out.
l tapped on her head
and yelled at her
until she came to.
She started crying
for our mother.
Mommy, help us!
Mommy, help us!
We huddled together,
calling ''Mommy!''
We cried for help,
but no one came.
From under the rubble,
She was crushed to death
when the house collapsed.
My little brother
was trapped
under the house.
Flames swallowed
our house.
My little brother
was screaming,
''Mother! lt's hot!
lt's so hot!''
You could hear him
as he died.
My mother told my brother,
''l will die with you.''
Luckily,
a neighbor came by
and pulled her away.
He said, ''Please,
Mrs. Nakazawa,
you can't die with them!''
We walked out
onto the playground
lt was a sea of fire.
All Hiroshima was burning.
There was no escape,
except to the river.
The flames were
jumping at us
so l put my head
underwater.
The river was full
of dead bodies.
We stayed there
and watched
the city burn.
When the hysteria
died down,
l realized my skin
was dangling
off my arm
and the clothes on
my back were gone.
l said, ''l'm burned''
With all my might
l tried to get up,
but l couldn't stand,
much less walk.
Someone carried me
on his back
and laid me down
under a tree.
All around me,
people were dying.
They told us their names.
and asked us to
contact their families.
Then they asked
for water
and they died.
The children were crying.
Even though their
parents were dead,
they still cried
for their mothers
''Mama,
please give me water!''
Then they'd fall over
and suddenly
they were silent.
