Summary
“Yeah well, god knows why, but he thinks you hung the moon, so you might try treating him at the very least like a human being once in a while.”
It was such a small thing. Small words for a small feeling cloaked in a chintzy veneer of idiomatic dismissal. A trembling little bird cupped in his scarred and battered hands and smothered. Or so he thought. Sometimes trembling little birds turn out to be phoenixes, and those who looked to someone else to hang the comfort of a wise, silvery moon in the sky already have the hammer and the picture wire at the ready.
As far as Jon was concerned, the moon only rose on their Somewhere Else because Martin deigned to pull the strings every night, not him.

Summary
“Are you a godly man, Doctor Sims?”
“I don’t think I can answer that question in a way that matters.”
“Rest assured I don’t expect that.”
Quiet.
“I believe…” he starts, then stops to breathe in, deeply. Just to stall, just to think, just to avoid Father Lucas’s attentive gaze, he takes a drag off his cigarette “I believe in people. On the best of people. On their worst, too. But it’s very difficult to be surrounded by dying men in a tent that smells of stale blood and gunpowder and believe there’s someone up there looking out for us.”
And he can see them now. Clutching their rosaries, calling out to their mothers, to their gods, to their long lost lovers. He can see them while the nurses held hands that would inevitably grow still and he could see himself, the only one with the responsibility to change their fate, useless in the centre of it.
--In 1950s Poplar, a group of nuns and nurses carry the health of the neighbourhood on their shoulders.
