'When I was six, I thought the moon was a button. I thought it was a button that held the sky together. I thought the sky could be undone by the moon, and that if the sky was unbuttoned, all the stars would fall out and shower down to earth, like glitter'.
ASH: Go on.
ALEX: 'I stopped seeing the moon as a button when I was eight. I started seeing it as a face, grinning at me. Leaning over me when I was in bed. Leaning over my face and grinning like it was going to do something evil to me'.
