For it had been long since we were bombed, the flash burns on everyone's body decayed and were gooey like old rags.
Such people were carried into a community center one after another.
Anyway, they were just as worn-out futons were kneaded and piled up on top of each other, but they were people. There were like old ragged futons that were drenched with oil.
They looked as if they, human beings, were kneaded and piled-up like futons at the corner. So, our wounds were tiny things. We all felt so sorry that we said to each other, "Let's go back home." So did we.
