The Grave Of The Fireflies Novels & Stories

She was gone. The weeks after The Burning are a blur. I wandered the ruins of Seattle, the sky perpetually covered in a blanket of ash, the fires never fully extinguished.

When the light disappeared, on the woman's chest was a pile of ashes, and in the middle of the ashes was a large golden egg.
