The Heart Novels & Stories

"Did you know that the human heart beats approximately one hundred thousand times per day? That's three billion times in an average lifetime!" "That's fascinating, princess," I said, grateful for the interruption. "Is this for school?" "No, I was just reading about hearts because Iniko has a heart condition and I wanted to understand it better." Cassidy climbed onto a stool between me and my mother. "His heart doesn't work right so he needs medication and he can't play active games and he gets tired easily. It's really sad." My chest tightened. Ambelyn's son had a serious heart condition. That explained so much—the divorce, the desperation I'd seen in her eyes during the interview, the way s

*Booom* The most useless, fragile and high maintenance instrument in our body is the heart, Root of all pains.. Yet I say.. All Hearts!!

Travis murmured as his warm breath kissed David's cheeks, making him blush. Heart— the most uncontrollable organ in the system of a human being! David's heart was wildly throbbing in the core of his ears, restricting all the other sounds from entering his ears. The only thing his ears picked up at this point was his crazy heart and Travis's voice that was echoing softly across the room. "Travis…aren't you trying to rob yourself in my heart?" David suddenly aired. His lips quivered as he watched Travis's eyes look at him with nourishment.

I widened my eyes and stare at him feeling shocked , and then I felt a sharp pain on my chest , I held my chest and wince in pain. "Are you okay?" He asked and stood up in an attempt to walk to me. "No, I'm fine. Don't worry.. what do you mean Acute heart failure?" I asked him as I try to calm myself down. "Acute heart failure is a sudden, life-threatening condition in which the heart is unable to do its job. The heart is still beating, but it cannot deliver enough oxygen to meet the body’s needs. This condition requires emergency medical care." He explained to me.

He told me he's a Guardian of the Chambers. He assisted me and let me sat in my bed. I leaned on the headboard and he sat across me. Thinking back, I shouldn't have let him sat on my precious bed. How dare he?! He cleared his throat and started explaining. "Our hearts are made of four chambers. We all know its functions, but there's something deeper than that." Since I'm curious in nature, he piqued my interest though my initial plan was to never pay attention to him at all.

He had always been proud and cold, always the one standing above everyone, giving orders. But now, he was crying like a child who'd been kicked out of his own home. If this were the past, my heart would have immediately softened. I would have rushed to hold him. But now, I felt like I was watching the end of a pathetic play. Once the curtain falls, it's over. My heart was calm, untouched. People are like that. When you hold something in your hand, you toss it around carelessly. Only when it's thrown away do you realize you want to pick it back up.

They both huffed and snuggled into Carson stealing glances and sticking out their tongues. "They cannot stay apart". The whole family witnessed it from the living room and smiled at them. "Yeah. They are the heart, mind and soul of each other". And that was the ultimate truth. ----- Tabby

Jesse blinked at the gleaming marble floors, the crystal chandeliers, the fresh-cut orchids arranged like art installations. "You live here alone?" he asked. Alina walked ahead, heels tapping like a ticking clock. "Alone is underrated." As they passed through a gallery hallway-lined with modern art that probably cost more than his old neighborhood-Jesse stopped in front of a sculpture that looked like two twisted metal hearts. "What's this one called?" "'Affection Fatigue,'" Alina said dryly. "By a French artist who only works during breakups." "Cheerful." She shot him a look. "You'll get used to it. Come on."

"Yes, I don't understand and I don't mind because it is not going to help my patient, completely irrelevant in any case" "Oh dear, you still have a long way to go and learn, you see, there is no such thing as irrelevant in this world, we are all somehow connected as so as our body parts, yes the brain is the one who feels and has the emotion and not the heart but you need to remember this, the heart is the one who beats, because every time you feel emotional the heart has a certain beat that expresses reactions throughout the body, every heartbeat is irrelevant to what we feel, even how much the b

I ended up sitting on the floor. From my seated position, I actually had a clearer view of the heart. Despite feeling uneasy, I forced myself to look at it. Upon closer examination, I noticed that this bright red heart was pulsating vigorously, with a rhythm similar to a normal human heart. But that wasn't all. If I looked closely, I could even make out a white shape within the heart. This white shape was circular, resembling a large and round pearl.
