Darkness, Heartbreak, and the Dangers of Black Spray Paint: All Fours Chapter 12

Oh, heartbreak. You are so maddeningly universal. The sick feeling. The roboticism.  The detachment from reality. As our character re-enters her domestic life, heartbreak haunts her. She lives the image from the beginning of the chapter: a frozen soul, in her basement, between a trampoline and a couple of suitcases. Amy & Tommy examine the bleakness of this chapter, but not without cackles of laughter and memories of their own heartbreak and miscommunication. Amy vouches for the healing power of young pilots in Singapore and Tommy recounts the slow response to his marriage proposal via accordion song. The unsung power of both fax machines and engagement rings are discussed.
