Description
Luna recounts a night off the coast of Cutler, Maine, in November of 2009, when a retired lobsterman named Ezra Vane kept her company on the deck of the trawler. He told her about the sound he'd been hearing for thirty years — a low, rhythmic hum from the seafloor, like something breathing. He called it the bottom song. That night, he showed her how to hear it too, and what happened after the sound stopped. A story about the weight of what lies beneath — and the silence that follows when it finally speaks.
