Dangerous Heart

The blood pumps through the tubes, working overtime as the body forged ahead.

Legs treading through dangerous terrain, shouts of dismay and frantic impatience.

You can feel it thumping upon your ribcage, threatening to break through.

Your brain can only provide so much, but the heart is the true organ of life.

Without it, the brain is just a useless gray lump.

Your breath grows short as your heart's speed increases.

Sweat seeping through pores, drenching yourself as you cook.

Your heart beckons you to stop, its speed moving faster than it wants.

As the heart works into overtime, your lungs began to strain.

Like a computer, you are overheating and can feel the shut down.

But then your heart leaps when you see it, a glimmer of hope that tells you “it's almost over”.

Though when you arrive, what you see makes your heart drop: “Closed: Opening Hours 9:00 AM-6:00 PM”

In your heart, you feel you should have left half an hour ago.
This is what I worked on for the Writing Prompt of that club I am a part of on Facebook. The theme was rather broad this time: Dangerous Heart. There are many interpretations and I felt what better way then showing someone rushing to beat a store before it closed. I'm sure everyone has gone through that at some point.
