Another Life

Tommy’s heart lay motionless, surrounded by ice-cubes in an ice-box. “We will be together again!” Christine assured his heart. The van she drove raced swiftly to the hospital, as fast as sun god Ra’s fiery chariot. After the heart transplant, she wondered whether her lover would still recognize her in his new body.

Verrrrry interesting and gives new meaning to transplant! Did you ever see the really old movie about the hand transplanted to a new person? Creepy!! Anyway, I sure enjoyed this one.
