Bennett was the one who wanted out of the field; Marcus had never dreamed of being a manager or a general. He was meant for the trenches. Marcus was like one of those deep sea fish he and Tomas had watched a documentary about the night before as they ate their takeout, the ones who died when you tried to pull them up out of all that crushing pressure. The church had sent him to Aquinas to die. He'd nearly obliged them. Thank God for Tomas, for the vision Tomas received, for God realizing him still had use yet for Marcus and sending Tomas to him. For letting him keep Tomas, just a while longer.
