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.

Elizabeth, at almost 20, gives birth to Olive in 2009 under devastating circumstances. Olive is the result of violence, and while Elizabeth loves her more than anything, the trauma and fear of being a young, unprepared mother lead her to give Olive up for adoption. She convinces herself it's the best decision, but the weight of that choice never leaves her. Fifteen years later, Elizabeth is married to Robbie, who supports her through everything, but the ache of not knowing what happened to Olive eats away at her. She decides to search for her daughter, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Olive has grown up in the foster care system, shuffled between homes that were supposed to protect her but often did the opposite. She's been hurt, silenced, and left feeling like she's nothing but a problem nobody wants. Olive doesn't speak anymore-it's her way of keeping the world out, of staying safe. She pours everything into her art and her diary, writing letters to a mother she barely remembers but can't forget. Elizabeth's search is heartbreaking, full of dead ends and moments where she almost gives up. When she learns about Olive's painful past, her guilt becomes unbearable, but it also fuels her determination. Olive, on the other hand, is unsure if she even wants to be found.
