A human heart

Hey guys. I wrote this about six months ago as the prologue to a novel. Check it out; criticism is more than welcome.

There's parts in this where it does a sort of hard boiled kind of voice quite well, which i think is probably what you were going for, but some of the sentences stick out. like "Such a cold treatment of friendship might sound vaguely sociopathic to you, but I’m happy to inform you that I have plenty of emotions.' is too twee, it sounds like a doctor who character trying to say a quip or something. It's trying to be clever or funny but its not really either, and seems a bit wordy given the narrators voice in most of the other sentences.
