Imcompelete : Chapter 1

Running; I was running. The dream always started this way; running. I don’t know who I was running from, or to for that matter. I knew what was about to happen; I had had this dream before. Even so, I was not able to stop myself from running right off of a cliff. Then, I was falling. I tried to grab the air around me as I saw the jagged rocks on the ground nearing quickly. I hit the rocks, but instead of being rough and fatal, it feels cold and smooth. I open my eyes and see I am on a table, surrounded by bright lights. I quickly realize that I am in surgery. Looking down at my body, I guess it is open heart surgery. I see it there, sitting in my chest. My heart is pulsing. Instead of looking like a heart, as in the organ, it looks like a heart from a Valentine’s Day card. One problem; there is a fourth of my heart missing. The doctor operating on me tells the nurse, unaware that I am awake, that without the missing piece of my heart, I will slowly deteriorate.
