* The siren jarred her awake
at about seven. She arose, dressed quickly, and hurried to the house of Mr.
Nakamoto, the head of her Neighborhood Association, and asked him what she

Mrs. Nakamura went back to the
kitchen, looked at the rice, and began watching the man next door. At first,
she was annoyed with him for making so much noise, …
As Mrs. Nakamura stood watching her
neighbor, everything flashed whiter than any white she had ever seen. She did
not notice what happened to the man next door; the reflex of a mother
set her in motion toward her children. She had taken a single step …when
something picked her up and she seemed to fly into the next room over the
raised sleeping platform, pursued by parts of her house.
