Laughed Quote by April White
““Another person, more or less, thinking I'm crazy wasn't going to make me lose sleep. But the look I got from Mr. Shaw wasn't "she's a whack-job," it was more like "hmmm." "What else can you do?" Now it was my turn to stare. "Uh, well, I have a freakshow ability to fall through spirals into other times. Is that what you mean?" "Must be a little disconcerting, that." "A little. The puking's fun though." Mr. Shaw laughed. I'd made the man laugh. Score one for the Clocker.””
