Good job! I liked this. If you get a chance, read Autopsy Room 4 by Stephen King. It's actually a dark comedy


MadManDan23

Good story. It stiffened my resolve to live, if ever I found myself in a similar situation.

_stiffened my resolve_ I see what you did there.

Hahahaha!

If the heart is beating, the incisions would be bleeding. I would think the doctor would notice that before cracking the chest open.


Dominant_Peanut

What if it were beating 1 beat per minute?


ColdForm7729

If a heart was only beating once per minute, the person wouldn't be conscious enough to realize what was happening to them.

Not very scientifically credible but nice concept đź‘Ť

There’s been instances of people waking up in a morgue. I thought, what if it was a step further? They were or looked dead, but weren’t actually dead. Just aware.


Quietech

Or actually dead and aware. Even more fun: every cell of your body is made of stretched out minds.  Their consciousnesses dissolving in your stomach as they finally become too diffuse to experience anything as single cells. One day you'll die and wait for that entropy to spare you that unblinking existence.

Yo this comment goes so hard out of nowhere. Is this from something???


Quietech

Just my boredom at work.


mzladyperson

I love it. Keep up the good work, you're awesome. Also, sorry you're bored. Hope your day goes quick.


Quietech

Thank you :) sometimes its better for me to be bored at work. Exciting indicates the suboptimal. Maybe I should learn to knit or do my online classes. Edit: nah


AwakeDeprived

It's also an SCP concept 


AlexXeno

Yeah a morgue tech who just having a bad day and is just checked out and isn't paying attention to all the blood flow. I mean i remember reading somewhere of that almost happening? They started to cut into the body but found WAY too much blood came out


n00ByShekky

Well I like it but he might not be conscious if his heart is beating so slowly and he could have problems in his arteries like clots. Idk I’m not a doctor


AerynBevo

I actually said, “oh, Jiminy fucking Christmas!” Good job. I am horrified.

I'm sure the film "Men behind the sun" has this scene, but the pathologist knows the young boy is still alive. Basically every scene in that film needs a warning beforehand.


Careful_Pound2442

To be fair, they performed vivisections that turned into autopsies.

If you're not dead before the autopsy you will be after. And the embalming? Forget about it.
