防火用水には、たどり着いた人々が水を求めていた。
ようやく求めていた水を満足するまで飲み干すと、そのまま死んでいった。
理由は分からないが、なぜか防火用水からは火があがっていた。
油が入っていたのか、それはわからない。
恐れる火と、求める水。そこにはどちらもあった。
There was a water tank for fighting fires in our neighborhood. Many people swarmed there for water. They drank as much water as they could and then slowly died.
I didn’t know why at the time, but I saw a tongue of fire shoot up from within the water tank. I didn’t know if there was oil in the tank or not. The fire they were frightened of and water they long for. Both were there.
