6th August 1945 - The Cry of Hiroshima

When I woke up I felt well enough to eat breakfast we were all sitting around the table on cushions.

"How are you?"

"Much better thank-you!" I replied showing my brother my biggest smile. Jin then commented on my eating like a horse. We were all laughing and then I heard a distant sound and a wave of pain I can't describe. The darkness - it must have covered the whole of Japan.
