PROLOGUE
The heart is the mayor. It is a vital organ made up of muscles and sphincters that pump the necessities of life by way of oxygen and nutrients, which are carried in the transport system that we call the blood, while also retrieving waste products and moving them out of the community. This major organ supports the governance structure responsible for moving everything in and out of the body through four important chambers. Without it, all is lost. The heart receives various hormones manufactured by its neighbour, the thyroid, and its block-over neighbour, the adrenal gland, and it is often activated by the gossip-chain and propaganda generated by various bias media-trains called nerve receptors; the myelinated varieties circulate moral dogma the fastest. This media outlet can be found throughout the community, but the brain’s right-hand goons stand watch out back, and the next intrigue or course of action is designed by the heart’s twin cousins, the eyes, and its second cousin once removed, the brain. That part of the family is made up of the various elites, which make up the upper 3%, or rather, 2.02% of the entire human body’s weight. Whatever stimulus is received via pleasure, fear, or pain is passed on through the gossip mill, which affects the stability and function of the entire communal circuit.
