Bang.
Bang. Bang.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
This is life around midnight. It's Festival Time. That means fireworks.
Fireworks are things that explode.
Bang.
Bang. Bang.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
Like that. Got it?
Want sleep, buy earplugs.
Can't find earplugs? Forgot to bring earplugs? Other stuff doesn't work? Like cotton wool, lint, cat fur, mozzarella, candle wax — well tough. Learn to sleep through it.
Or die trying.
Either method works.
And if you can't manage one of those, put on your party suit and get out there. They're expecting you.
