Before going to sleep every night, he would smoke a cigar in bed and then throw his cigar butt on the floor by the door, where the rain would put it out. I can still vividly remember the disgusting sight and smell of his wet cigar butt in a puddle of brown water on the floor, when I would wake up each morning.

Location: Civilian Hospital, Casoli.
