I was sleeping almost buried under surrounding flowers. I was dreaming then. As I was sleeping comfortably, before long I heard faintly somebody's voice's calling me,
"Miss.Kondo!"
I thought,
"Somebody is coming. I wish that he let me sleep here."
I did not remember how I was dug up and rescued. The ceiling beams of factory fell down and I seemed to have been crushed under the beams. And then a big sound like an explosion of bomb came again.
People near me were fleet-footed so that they were able to evacuate to underground air-raid shelters. As a result I was left alone. Nobody brought me into the shelter. I thought,
"I can do nothing anymore. I will not survive. This is my end."
I wanted to cry but I didn't even feel that I could do so.
I watched any sign in surroundings. I was surrounded by red flames. Seeing it, I thought that I would not survive, I was the end and I half despaired. Thereafter I was crying,
"Help me! Please help me!"
Then a man, who was pulling quilt futon (mattress) drenched with water over himself, rushed to me and covered me up with a futon.
