Heart Of Glass
by Miles H. Rost
“Found one!”
Maizie walked down the dirt path, and crouched down.
“What did you come up with, Trish?”
“Must have been an old Heeregard hospital. Take a look.”
Maizie picked up the small tube that was on the ground. She clinked it against a piece of metal and sighed. She knew exactly what the place was, and it was not good news for the explorers.
“Not a hospital. A burial ground.”
“Heeregard?”
“Nah. Broken-hearted New Humans. As they die, their hearts turn to glass.”
“Seriously?!”
“What you found was an aorta. Let’s go.”
Trish looked up, quizzically
“I’m not staying around for the ghosts of the lonely…” Maizie flatly stated, as she turned around to leave.
Music and Fiction 
An innovative take on the prompt. Good job.
Nice imagery of hearts turning to glass. Leaves me hungry for more 🙂
Oh you brought my mind back to those days when Music still felt new…
wow! totally unexpected. pure fiction…way to go dear.
Great take, very imaginative. And the music choice is superb.
That was unique and very imaginative. Nicely done.
“ghosts of the lonely” “glass hearts”
Good imaginary
Great take!
Great imagination! I can’t think like that. Wish I could, though. very big sigh.

Everyone has the ability to think of something different. Some are blessed with imagination, some are blessed with simple thoughts. Never let what you currently do limit you from what you may do in the future.
You don’t always have to be creative, just create. 🙂
I love poking around burial grounds……

Great story. A burial ground of broken hearts. Glass aorta pumped it up a notch. Thanks too for the Blondie song.
Very imaginative! Excellent take on the prompt!
Interesting take on the prompt. Great imagination and imagery.
“Ghosts of the lonely…” that’s a nice turn of phrase.
That what they get for wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
CLEVER, FUN, AND THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
nice job
“I’m not staying around for the ghosts of the lonely…” great line to end a great piece. It was a blast…
*It was a gas – gas, not blast!
The start of the video shows NYC back in the day! That’s how I remember it, and I remember my older sister coming home and telling me about this new band she saw perform – Blondie!
excellent story! I’d get the heck out too. And best music choice ever. Gotta love a little Blondie 🙂
Great take, very imaginative. These ideas build a whole new world that wants to be described.
Not much more dismal than the ghost of the lonely.
That’s kind of a creepy realization. I wouldn’t want to stay there either, I think. I like that Blondie song though.
