In this varied collection of poems, nostalgic memories and short fiction, Kevin Sheehan brings a unique perspective to surviving a childhood filled with turmoil, madness and tragedy. Bullied mercilessly by his peers and abandoned by his parents, he seeks solace in the dependable throb of the one-cylinder stationary engines he is certain will inherit the earth after the human race has destroyed itself. But he is unable to completely ignore the role of the fair sex in his rescue.
