Chicken Heart

Do you remember some time ago in an Eastern scientific institution, they kept a piece of heart alive for weeks on end? Well I got to thinking, what if that heart began to grow? And grow, and grow, and grow.

Hello, hello operator, give me Mr. Regan fast. Hello Mr. Regan this is Lewis, listen get me a rewrite man, the thing's still growing. cheap I tell you the truth the corridors choked with living crawling flesh no no no I'm not drunk I'm telling you the truth that little piece of flesh is grown into

now it's jamming that building all inside the space of an hour you've got to believe me it's the greatest news story of the generation and here you argue with me I tell you it's the truth you've got to believe me I tell you the only hope is to burn the buildings of the ground but one hour wait a minute now wait a minute

I take it, I take you to the ground, burn, I tell you, take it easy. I send it a call, don't you understand? For some reason, I cannot even imagine this tissue is doubling in size every hour. Do you know what that means? In another hour it will be twice the size it is now, and long before that it will break open the

building with the force of its pressure, and then it will be free in the street. Do you feel me free in the streets? And then those, those tentacles of protoplasms dretching out the feed on anything they can reach?

You're waiting! See the walls! Dang! I won't! I won't! As mayor, no one realized it's more than I do the necessity of immediate action in curbing this unspeakable, unbelievable emergency.
