Title: In a Heartbeat

“There’s been an accident.”

Georgia raced to the hospital. Xavier. Images of his childhood followed her through the sterile hallways.

Yesterday, they were lifting the couch out of the trailer, excited about the move. Today, he was in the hands of the surgeons he aspired to be. One day, he wanted to save lives.

“Please, save my only son.”

————————

“It’s an honor. Xavier saved me.”

Georgia placed the stethoscope against the man’s chest and listened to the heartbeat she heard via ultrasound 17 years ago. Cameras flashed. Tears wet her cheeks.

“You hear that, Xavier? You saved a life.”
