Something was wrong, something was killing my body I could feel it. It felt so out of place in me. I must get it out or else Imma die. I took my right arm and shot my hand into my chest. I couldn't feel the pain but black blood splattered all over the ground. I reached into my chest and grabbed the source of the sickness. Gotcha. I then yanked it out with all my strength. I took in a deep breath, I felt better, a lot better. I sighed in relief as I raised my right hand to see what was making me sick. My eyes widened in horror as I looked at my own heart.

And the blood was red.
