Luke raised his shirt, sweat beading on his forehead in the muggy summer heat. The boy winced as Ms. Harding sliced open his abdomen, exposing his innards. The anatomy teacher pointed out his large intestine, bladder, stomach and colon with her scalpel, slowly cutting each organ out of Luke's torso. Ms. Harding reached deep into his chest, her gloved hands grasping the boy's pounding heart. Luke gasped, his brown eyes rolling up in agony. She called up two of his classmates to hold him up as she sliced away. Almost triumphantly, she tore the heart out, holding it in her hands. Luke's body gave out, limply sagging in the hands of his classmates. Everyone agreed after that it was well worth the sacrifice.
