梅雨時の明け方、立川の保線区に勤めていた私は轢死の報を受けて、ガソリントロッコで現場に向かう。

現場への道すがら、今日は工夫の倉さんの女房の命日だと知る。

夫の酒癖の悪さを悩んで、飛び込み自殺をしたのだと。

At the dawn of the rainy season, I was working in the railway maintenance section in Tachikawa when I received the news of a hit-and-run death and headed for the scene by gasoline trolley.

On the way to the scene, I learned that today was the anniversary of the death of KURA's wife.

She had committed suicide by jumping into a car because she was worried about her husband's bad drinking habit.
