My Heart Was Given To Her

After my heart surgery, my brother confessed to me, “We gave the heart that matched you to Luna.”

“Your surgery wasn’t done; they just opened you up and stitched you back.”

I trembled, utterly incredulous. “You gave my heart to her? What about me?”

Mom and Dad’s smiles vanished. “Luna has always been frail since she was little, what’s wrong with letting her have it this one time?”

“With how full of life you are, you’ll find another heart eventually!”

“If we’d known you’d be so calculating, we never should have brought you back.”
