Summary

This quote reflects the recollections of someone who was born during a time of war, possibly World War II, and grew up in a city affected by bombing, likely Liverpool. Despite being too young to remember the actual bombs, the speaker vividly recalls the aftermath of destruction, with vacant spaces replacing former houses. The mention of playing in these ruins suggests resilience and adaptability amidst adversity, as children made a game out of navigating the scars left by the war. It offers a glimpse into the lasting impact war can have on both physical landscapes and the collective memory of those who experience it.
