“Tick-Tock's mouth opened in a shocked O of surprise, an expression which said more clearly than words could have done that, for all his intelligence, Tick-Tock had expected to live a long, happy life where he shot people but was never shot himself. Shot AT, perhaps but actually hit? That surprised expression said that just wasn't supposed to be in the cards.” — Stephen King
