A laughing two-year-old perched precariously on the back of a chaise longue; a young woman postured in leg-revealing shorts. Upstairs a sleek blonde feigned innocent sleep. In one cellar, pajama-clad parents had herded their kids into wooden FCDA shelters, as if they had just been awakened by the wail of a warning siren.

Beside the river he stumbled over the body of a small girl in pajamas, her skull shattered. Dominici sprinted toward the car. Under a plaid rug, among the roadside weeds, he found the body of a woman dressed in a kimona.
