Rhythm Interrupted

Description: On a sweltering summer day, rain patters softly against the windshield as eden laughs over coffee with a close friend—who, by a twist of fate, is highly trained in cpr. the afternoon feels perfect, but paradise fractures in an instant. mid-sip, eden pauses—something is wrong. a strange fluttering dances in her chest. her smile falters. she tries to brush it off, breathing deeply, but the sensation only intensifies. her heart begins to race, pounding with a frantic, unnatural rhythm. her friend glances over, concern shadowing his face. moments later, eden exhales sharply and slumps in her seat—eyes closed, motionless. without hesitation, her friend springs into action, pulling out a life-saving defibrillator he always keeps nearby. time slows. every second counts. he must restart her heart before the silence becomes permanent… *** lots of heavy breathing, eye rolling, chest rising, electroshock simulations, simulated heart rate, closeups, and painful moans.
