כַּאֲשֶׁר עָבְרוּ הַחֳדָשִׁים וְהָאֲתָר הִתְקָרֵר, חָזַרְנוּ. מִכָּל מָקוֹם נִבְּטוּ סְדָקִים רְחָבִים שֶׁאֶפְשָׁר הָיָה לְטַפֵּס לְתוֹכָם. חִזּוּקֵי פְּלָדָה הִזְדַּקְּרוּ וְהִתְכּוֹפְפוּ מִתּוֹךְ הַבֶּטוֹן הַמִּתְפּוֹרֵר. בַּהִיקֵּף הַמְּרוּחָק יוֹתֵר נוֹתְרוּ שְׁאֵרִים שֶׁל יַעַר שָׂרוּף אֲבָל עַל הָאֲדָמָה לֹא הָיוּ עוֹד זְרָעִים מֵהֶם יוּכַל לִנְבּוֹט שׁוּב. שַׁלְטֵי ה-״ACHTUNG!!!״ הַצְּהֻבִּים שֶׁתָּמִיד הִתְחַנְּנוּ בְּפָנֵינוּ שֶׁנִּזָּהֵר וְנוֹתְרוּ הַזִּכָּרוֹן הַחַי בְּיוֹתֵר שֶׁלִּי מֵהַמָּקוֹם, הוּתְּכוּ לִבְלִי הֶכֵּר וְנֶעֶלְמוּ מֵהַנּוֹף.
As the months passed and the site cooled, we returned. Wide cracks stared back at us, inviting us to climb inside. Steel reinforcements jutted out and bent from the crumbling concrete. At the farther edges, leftovers of a charred forest remained, but the ground held no more seeds from which anything could sprout again. The yellow "ACHTUNG!!!" signs, which had always pleaded with us to be cautious and remained my most vivid memory of the place, had melted beyond recognition and vanished from the landscape.

In returning to the caves, we assumed the greatest challenge would be relearning how to hunt and gather. It never occurred to us that there would be almost nothing left to hunt or gather.
בְּמַעֲבָר חֲזָרָה לַמְּעָרוֹת סָבַרְנוּ שֶׁהַקֹּשִׁי הַגָּדוֹל יִהְיֶה לִלְמֹד מֵחָדָשׁ אֵיךְ לָצוּד וְלַלַּקֵּט. מְעוֹלָם לֹא עָלָה עַל דַּעְתֵּנוּ שֶׁכִּמְעַט לֹא יִשָּׁאֵר דָּבָר שֶׁנִּתָּן לָצוּד וְלַלַּקֵּט.
