Kevin reached into the cryogenic chamber with his gloved hands. The vitriolic fumes burned his face as he leaned in further. Gripping the dark red shape proved more difficult than he'd imagined as he could barely feel anything beyond the inner lining of the thick protective gloves. When he was certain he had a secure grasp on it, he withdrew his arms from the freezing chamber. As the warmth from the room hit the frozen mass the surface became oily. His grip proved too tight and the organ launched from his hands like a bar of soap in a hot shower. He watched as it arced towards the ceiling in slow motion. As he threw his weight towards the falling object his boot slipped in some of the greasy runoff. With a thud, his chest collided with the floor. Mere inches from his face the frozen heart met the cold slate flooring. Clenching his eyes tightly shut, he listened to the sound of the gelid biological structure separate into thousands of tiny pieces.

Pulling himself up amid the gory mess, he thought "Welp, guess we'll just have to try again next month… Sorry, Angela…"
