Heart
written by: Rex Fausett
It seems to be enjoying its new companions
Two stents and a balloon
They say it was all on the right side of my heart
The left side is perfect.
It was the plumbing, not the heart itself.
I heard my heart during one of many procedures.
A squishy noise like a large wet sponge being squeezed.
Is that my heart? I asked the man.
Yes and I declare it good, said Aaron.
Aaron is from somewhere else.
Sterling stuff, said Fergus, my clinician.
How are your lungs today?
I write horror as a preference but I have trouble omitting humour, even when I should. I live in Auckland, New Zealand, a retired debt collector. Married for a long time, with one adult daughter. I really love Christmas and I believe in Santa Claus, and I like to think that Santa Claus believes in me. I've been good this year. My stories can be found on Smashwords and include crime, horror and romance.
