Doctor, what's the diagnosis?

"Doctor, what's the diagnosis?"
"I'm afraid I don't have much good news. This patient doesn't have a heart." The doctor sighed and started to turn away. Stopping he surveyed the patient one last time, closed his eyes and rubbed his greying temples. "Yes, all the classic symptoms. This is a textbook case. There is nothing I can do for her." Sighing once again, the doctor walked out the door.
The nurse looked quizzically after the doctor, not really sure what to do. Should she schedule an emergency surgury? The doctor didn't seem too worried. She looked back at the dark-haired girl lying on the gurney. She was a little pale, but that could have been the lighting, she was smaller than average, but that was nothing too disconscerning either. The nurse looked a little more intently and gave a gasp. There was a hole in the girl's chest. There was no blood, not even coagulated blood. In a cartoon, it would have been a comical sight. Yet, even in cartoons there was a touch of tragedy when the character lost their heart in love. So unreal, yet so true.

  1. Reminded me of a dream I had when I was with my ex in Miami that I was going to get stabbed in the heart. It hurt so much but now I live in Tennessee.

  2. I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope it was just a dream and had no basis in reality.
