Distant Heart Sounds Novels & Stories

She was just staring blankly at the Doctor while blinking her eyes from time to time as if confirming that this isn’t a dream. “Kiara?” My body became cold as my hands starts to tremble while waiting for her or the doctor to say anything. “Systolic. The left ventricle of the heart, which pumps most of the blood, has become weaker. This happens because it’s gotten bigger. Since it is larger than before, the ventricle can’t contract the way it should. Because of that, your heart doesn’t pump with enough force to push blood throughout the body.” Kiara explained. Astonishment was all over her face.

Damien asked, his own composure carefully maintained despite what I recognised, watching him closely, as genuine underlying tension. "There's a structural anomaly in your heart's left ventricle that wasn't present in your original scans, before your cardiac event," the doctor explained. "It's not necessarily concerning on its own, but combined with certain other markers, I want to rule out a specific genetic condition that can sometimes manifest following significant cardiac stress." The additional testing required nearly two weeks to complete, an agonising period of uncertain waiting that tested both of our considerable resilience, built across decades of navigating this family's various co

She slipped the disk beneath the collar of his shirt, the plastic cold against his skin. “Breathe,” she ordered. He inhaled. The sound vibrated through her fingers through her chest. Too close. Too familiar. She focused on the sound in her ears instead. A faint murmur. Valvular irregularity. But more than that—a subtle hitch in the electrical conduction, something out of sync between heart and lungs, human and wolf. She moved the stethoscope, listening as long as she dared before the mate-bond heat under her skin became unbearable.

Marcus was still standing outside the hospital room with a hand still suspended in front of the door handle. The low tones were still present on the inside. Thump... thump... thump... His swallow stopped, and his breath. “That... that is a heartbeat,” he said. The sound echoed again, and tightened his chest, his heart real. "No... it can't be..." he grumbled, and shook his head. Daniel moved closer behind him with a dark expression. “You need not be here,” said Daniel sternly.

The sound ricocheted off the high ceilings and my heart flat out stopped beating Cardiac arrest? Sure. Now was a good time for that Mr Voss turned instantly, His eyes zeroing in on the direction of the noise. “Who's there?”

Although my legs wouldnt move every part of me cried out that I had to get out and run but I wasnt sure what it was. They felt heavy as though they were cemented to the ground. I attempted to move forward but I had the impression that the earth was dragging me downward and into the shadows below. Then I heard it. There was a distant dragging sound. At first it seemed as though someone was approaching me slowly but not in the typical manner. No there was something wrong about this sound. Something that isnt natural. The sound was getting closer and louder and my heart was racing. I attempted to scan the area but it seemed to go on forever. The sound of those footsteps approaching was the only

I have nothing to relax about. Looking forward, beyond where the fragile illumination of my mobile reaches, there's... something... I strain to see... And there... From somewhere ahead of me... Footsteps...and... another noise... A warbling, quaking rattle of a noise... My heart makes a single mighty bound, jack-hammering the blood to my head and fingertips, then bangs inside my ribs like some maddened jack-in-the-box. What the hell was that? Distorted by echoes, I can't identify it...

My hand was shaking. My head began to heat and my heart was beating so fast on my chest. Sound started to be louder. I could hear the dor that was walking outside. I could hear kids laughing from the distance. I could hear the train moving. Everything that was far from me seemed to be so close. Yet everything that was so close to me seemed to slowly parish. I could see people's lips moving but heard no sound. That was until I felt my body hit the wall.

She'd given them a decent distance. They're getting louder... her heart began racing as she could sense those heavy footsteps approaching yet again. Her racing heartbeat soon translated into a dash forward, diving deeper into the deep green. They were probably farther away than she'd thought, but the current situation seemed to intensify all her sensory perceptions.

" Just leave me alone Drake. That's all you can do to help me out." He looks hurt by my outburst. He came close to me making my heart almost jump out of my chest. His closeness is really affecting me a lot. Please stay away from me Drake. Seeing you just makes me confused and I don't know what I want to do. "How can I stay away from you when you're bound and etched in my heart. I can't live well anymore without you. I need you Carina. I miss you so much. I'm losing my mind Carina, please just give me a second chance to make things right between us."
