Description
In the haunting embrace of a silent mosque, my prayers mingle with the distant cacophony of artillery, weaving a lullaby that sends me spiraling into slumber. I'm transported to ancient Baghdad—long before the war, the empires, the cessation of dreams. This is the gleaming city of A Thousand and One Nights, not the battle-scarred canvas of the Gulf War. Fanfares resonate, fireworks pierce the heavens, and audacious flying carpets dance amid blazing luminance. Euphoric dreamers from every corner converge. "What is this jubilation?" I inquire. They murmur, "Your imminent arrival." Jolted awake, I find myself beneath the roaring dance of fighter jets and the impending rain of doom.
