“The music of cri-cri and cigales droned on in a hypnotic rhythm, punctuated by the occasional croon of the nightingale. I thought of lullabies and how as a child they would placate my disappointment that another day had ended. I was used to sleeping in strange places, and would always focus on sound to relax.

It was important to me to find lullabies where I could. If death came with a lullaby, perhaps fewer men would fear it.”
