he_died_for_love Freak It was about a very young boy, 14 or so, and Peggy claimed it was true. He died for love, she said. His family was poor. He was cut out for heavy work and bad pay, but he was a sweet kid, and he loved a cheerleader in his school. She wouldn't even look at him, of course. Her life was different. But then she got sick and the doctors said it was her heart. She would die, they said, unless she could get a new one. The word went around the school that she was waiting for a donor. The boy was terribly sad for awhile, but then he told his mother that he was going to die and give his heart to the girl. His mother thought this was just his sweetness talking. He was healthy. But a few days later he dropped dead. Instantly. A brain hemorrhage, they said. Surprisingly, the doctors found that his bits actually were compatible to the cheerleader's, and they transplanted his fresh heart into her. It worked. Now she dances and cheers again with the poor boy's heart. The redheads were impressed. Vicki said it would be weird to feel your life pumping throught this heart that had loved you. Lisa wondered if the cheerleader would be haunted. Geek Love - Katherine Dunn 021107 what's it to you? who go blather from
