‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCHj0hWS16
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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoszYjL27M
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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoeV5KUZ8P
‘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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHplDn9zbh
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqBZ5pkHEu
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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P8iuTPyUF
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNIu4QSlLb
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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhbgLbZr9X
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx9i1WhIHa
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkXklPDplL
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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Ky5KzxGw
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjR9Qfivpy
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHvn0yJCMI
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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ycJBv9Bs
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.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb5cxJwX6g
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CWIRvGNuj
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdfFUqJqbe
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.988Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcsgmguvz8
Margaret, let me join you.
