I've ruled out uni because I want to live at home.

I've ruled out uni because I want to earn money.

I've ruled out uni because of my grades.

Tonight's broadcast is brought to you by the company you depend upon for all of your greatest

needs, Heart Life.

These stories are true dramatizations from our fair city's glorious history.

So listen and remember, Heart Life, all the life you'll ever need.

Little is remembered about the fall of Hartford, the city that straddled the Connecticut River in the bad ages.

That knowledge has either been erased by the vicissitudes of time or locked away in the

great vaults of HeartLife's Tower, where it shall remain until the company's board of

directors has deemed it suitable for public consumption. What we know is this. The bones of the city

still exist, its steel shoulders wrapped in a mantle of ice, its broad boulevards devoid of human

life, the river that once animated the city, frozen, stiff as a corpse.

Until today, no policy of heart life had laid eyes upon downtown Hartford in a generation.

Neil, why don't you come out of there? There's a lot of city to see. Maybe you could take Tim up to the bridge to see if our foragers have come back. Show a little leadership, maybe.

Far below, in the shadow of an enormous bridge that spans the frozen river, Allison and her men have established their base camp.

Neil, like Achilles, sulk's in his tent.

I'm not really interested.
