I wonder about things like this:

On her way down a Mercy Hospital hallway, a Sisters of Mercy nun instinctively picked up neatly folded linen lying on the floor outside a chapel door on the morning of April 5, 1980.

Believing it to be a pillow case, she picked it up and took it into St. Joseph's chapel. She laid the simple cloth on a pew and - despite what she later described as an "eerie feeling" - went about her task of preparing organ music for that day's Holy Saturday services. "
---

Why would this nun "instictively" pick up a pillow case and take it into the chapel. Isn't there a hospital there where dirty linens go? Why bring this "pillow case" from a hallway and into the chapel and place it in a pew? Does this hospital, as a practice, stack their linens in the chapel pews? Are pillows kept in the chapel if so why? I know that I probably will never know the answer to this but this just made we wonder.

This was the author's lame attempt at writing a novel, I think ;)

Maybe she grabbed it up with the intention of putting it in its proper place later; as a "tidy Sister" she didn't want the thing to lie on the floor?

The more significant (IMO) details are in bold text.
