“In the back of the truck there was a stack of corrugated iron, obviously salvaged from one or more bomb sites, a large box of nails and a collection of carpenter’s tools. Terasawa, the man who had hired him, climbed up under the truck’s hood with a pile of bedding in his arms and sat down behind the driver, a young man by the name of Kameya. Takuya sat down on the precariously small seat to the left of Kameya. The engine roared to life and off they went into the rain. The hood stretched far... enough forward to protect the driver from the elements, but the left side of Takuya’s body was fully exposed to the rain. Soon his left trouser leg was so wet that spray came up from the saturated cloth, and in no time at all his left shoe felt as though it was filling up with the water running down his leg. His glasses were covered with drops of water, so he put them away in the inside pocket of his jacket. Kameya did his best to avoid the potholes along the way, but once they came out on to the main road the ride was so bumpy that Takuya had to hold on tightly for fear of being bucked right out of the vehicle.MoreLessRead More Read Less
