Blowing rain continued through the night. Lightning flashed and thunder clapped all around the shack, and thick air filled the tiny home. Mother coughed in her hammock. Binh began to wheeze and cry out in his sleep. Lan pulled him to her, sat up, and lifted him onto her lap. The wheezing continued. She dragged him out from under the mosquito net and stood with him in her arms.

“Mama,” he called out. He clung to her. She swayed back and forth and clucked her tongue to soothe him. She walked to the door and eased it open. The rain had stopped. She stepped into the yard and gazed up at the sky, where the stars twinkled behind thin clouds.

Binh, with his eyes still closed, began to cluck his tongue too. Lan held him tightly. The dawn would soon arrive. The loudspeaker crackled to life with patriotic music.
