‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINhM9rZBn0
It. That’s what humans calls me. And everyone else like me. They’re arrogant like that. Humans think that they’re the only ones capable of thinking and feeling.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttWI8ryWba
Everyone except Margaret. She knows that we plants are capable of all the things humans are capable of. Knows that even though we can’t make ourselves understood by humans, doesn’t mean we can’t understand them. She told me a million times that she felt sorry for me. That plant life is a curse.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzkJNjkYtd
‘Alright, alright. I’ll take it.’ I recognise the guy as Laurie’s neighbour from decades ago, before he married Margaret. He doesn’t seem interested in taking me at all. Not that I’m surprised.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEDYJfFceW
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL1HZIvR8i
If I shut my Sight, I can just imagine her opening the balcony door, about to recount her day. Maybe she gave her change to a homeless child. Maybe there was an injured can she scooped up and brought back home to heal.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj5TYsymwO
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZhC2LSWBM
And it feels sad, that I’ll never hear her words again. A day or two before she passed, she told me that she’d wait for me in this place called ‘Heaven.’ I hope she’s right.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbnbTu9r7z
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZygEdRFxPi
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rT85AWQfS
That’s what everyone thought of her. Crazy. Insane. All sorts of funny words. ‘It doesn’t matter what they think. They don’t understand.’ she’d say.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVKD9VADbL
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ43tYJoRO
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQB28dSD50
Margaret, I hope you were right about the place called Heaven. I want to join you there. I want you to keep talking to me like you always did. Maybe I’ll finally be able to talk to you too.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIqTZU4s4P
Is that too much to ask? Perhaps it is. I’ve had a better life than any other plants could have hoped for. Because of you. Just in case I won’t see you in ‘Heaven,’ I want to thank you. You’ve brightened my life more than indefinitely, even though I did nothing for you.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHFlZ97e90
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFArHYREYB
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyD8ZALMZ9
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.1011Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv7sy1HC59
Margaret, let me join you.
