    Summary

    Freshly discharged due to an injury, John finds himself thrust into the mundane before he's ready. A quaint little neighborhood with people surprisingly eager to welcome him in.

    That is, aside from one. Simon—a man he nicknames Ghost—who is far too protective over his neighbors for his own good.

    With the aid of a gaggle of lovely old ladies, John and Simon manage to overcome their initial reservations, and give each other a reluctant second chance.

    Summary

    Stories older than civilization tell of the man in the moon, whose face can be seen if one knows what to look for - dark pockets in it that might resemble eyes, or a mouth, a nose. Soap can see the face now, gazing down with its large, flat eyes. He can't help the prickle along his skin; the sense that the moon is, indeed, watching him.

    "Why do you keep sending me these dreams?" he asks the moon, who of course doesn't answer.

    He doesn't know what it means, never has. Prophets and mystics, he's asked them by the dozen, but none of them have been able to explain his dreams. They chalk it up to stress - but why, he would ask, do they come so routinely? - or the fact that Soap was born on a full moon, in a particular alignment of the stars that hurts Soap's head when they try to explain it.

    But why, he would ask, does that matter? Why would the day of his birth affect the dreams of his adulthood?

    No answers, just a fond pat on his hand and a prescription for something to help him sleep. Useless, the lot of them.
