My Cardboard Balcony

The Heart Ticks by Belinda Roddie   the heart ticks like a grandfather clock like a time bomb ka-boom wait there's more where that came from

The automatic assumption of the aviator was rivaled with the recklessness of the radioactive radical. That being said, it was all very silly. A sitcom, really. Something to view with booze and chips very much like football on a weekday after you've come home from your mall job where you drive little kids around on a train to show them the movie theater and the Victoria's Secret. All very charming.
