Pressed against the shrapnel-pitted wall I stare out over the expanse of collapsed brick, crumpled tarmac, crushed concrete and twisted steel at the blackberry bush I spotted yesterday, a short distance into the exclusion zone. I could run there in a few seconds. Anywhere else it would be so easy. But anywhere else the berries would be gone.
