Atlas Of The Heart Novels & Stories

asked Young Ho coming next to her. “See, recall human anatomy, the heart is located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium which protects it. The centre of heart is located about 1.5 cm to the left of the midsagittal plane that’s why it is more towards left side but I think it is not the case in his condition” said Lily in a robotic tone. “Yeah, but it is more towards left side. See, this area where she staked is the perfect position for staking but he is not dead somehow and I can’t figure out why!!!” said Young Ho in frustration.

That worried him more than her earlier hesitation. They reached the core bay doors. The security scanner flickered uncertainly, then recognized Rhea’s biometrics and unlocked with a heavy groan. The doors parted and the chamber opened before them—a vast circular room lined in gleaming conduits, with the Heart itself suspended in the center like a sphere of liquid light.
