Purposeful Heart
She hovered over the dirty creek, her hands brown from the muck of the shallow stream. The water’s cleanliness didn’t matter... She was just grateful to find an unowned splotch of water, an unlikely occurrence these days. The heart-shaped locket dangled just under her throat, and she was careful not to let it dip into the water. The shape was not that of the cartoonish heart, the symmetrical, romantic image. Her’s was the shape of the very heart operating in the chest of all, but only working in the chest of few. In Amanda’s eyes, the unrealistic symbol served as a prerequisite for the horrors that eventually came, no matter how many years after its creation.
