‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZnvzALl1u
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kF66D3wxF
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV5YDE5hnI
‘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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnHHmhcHO1
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWW5AzzUnZ
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKex5u4fmX
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR6GmJtxvG
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxqYdRncR6
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t6eVdErTx
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN8D7lx1Ew
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlt0bPo5iQ
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPr3o8bJoW
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fxQF86o8e
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9puOydqX8P
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.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPTNl5z2V8
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ6OFdi8hE
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDDqlebMZj
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonnrlsxXZC
Margaret, let me join you.
