Thought I’d post some short stories every week or so, keep the blog interesting whilst I wait for more news.<\/p>\n
The beauty of a heartbeat.<\/p>\n
A instant, a moment, a breath. A heart, this muscle, this red beast that forces the crimson liquid to rush around a mechanism of cells and chemistry. This single moment in which so much energy, so much power is supplied to a wondrous synchronisation of organic material. A heartbeat, also a word to describe a moment, the a single flap of a butterfly\u2019s wings as it descends upon a pebble in a pool, a ripple across a still lake that reflected the solar rays drifting in-between the clouds, a single droplet bounding, mixing, and bouncing back out of the body in which it fell, before it is assimilated into the mass of liquid in which it joined.<\/p>\n
A heartbeat, it fluttered and skipped as the mind above connected with another, their heartbeats fell into sync as their lips brushed against one another, a perfect harmonious connection of two souls, two heartbeats. The gliding leaves fell around them, a bird chirped above under the red of the sunset, its wings flapping to the beat of the hearts below.<\/p>\n
Out there, a million miles away, atoms crashed and smashed in the space between that beating, powering a star, an incredible sphere of power, of alluring light. Down between atoms, in the space between particles, in another dimension, a race, a civilisation flourished under the sound of the heartbeat, unbeknownst to the beauty of the beating above.<\/p>\n
Lup dup. Lup dup.<\/p>\n
He smiled to himself, all that was happening, all from the muscle within his chest.<\/p>\n
