Confessions On An Island – Ayan Pal

All my mathematical calculations weren’t for nothing, I think, even as I use my hearts for what they were always meant to be used for—increased concentration, exceptional athleticism and a phenomenal metabolism rate. While pulling my clothes off the floor, I sprint across the porch and run towards the car even as a guttural scream of pure rage reaches my ears.

Will it work this time?”
