I was on the way to Onagawa, as I was worried about my fishing boat moored there. But when I saw people fleeing by cars, I set off for higher ground and kept watching from there. I spent that night in my car, but was too nervous to sleep at all. Four months on, I still feel as if I am in a dream and feel like I want to run away from reality. I do not want to recall March 11, but if I hold onto and remember it, I will be fine. I have no choice but to look ahead and to keep moving forward.
