Nathaniel was parked in his Chrysler, idling near St. John’s Cathedral on Anderson Avenue, barely noticing a funeral in progress in the ancient graveyard. The blast and the sirens had done little to quell the sombre proceedings, with the exception of the younger attendees checking their smartphones and looking towards the direction of the explosion.
