Echoes of a Pulsing Heart
A Novel in Flash Fiction
Why me? This single question is the only companion left when the heart begins to riot.
For the narrator, life is an endless, anxious vigil: a patient waiting game with the Reaper, who hovers nearby, always watching, never delivering. Each day is marked by the visceral terror of a body that betrays the mind, a routine of desperate prayers that yield nothing but stale, weary acceptance.
Echoes of a Pulsing Heart is not a long story, but a mosaic of sharp, beautiful, and devastating moments.
It is a novel built from the tiny, brutal bursts of feeling that define a lifetime of struggle. As the character navigates the landscape of existential dread, they search for the one thing, the one anchor, that can make the torture stop.
Because when everything else fails, hope, faith, and the will to fight, there is only you left to silence the tremor.
Dive into this deeply introspective novel told in fragments, and discover what remains when all the shadows recede.
