‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmUxxMvn8X
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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXGNXqd4Xu
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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpgzv71STU
‘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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPuzWdLnl6
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxb37HhRpu
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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM9ivM9F8o
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYoH5BPU6E
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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pTHnfPPWD
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxewmaCE8mJ
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYG88OFtJS
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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R105SlMaZ
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBKdSjSpzk
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO9N7pFNFO
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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX26cBhxFMN
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.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVmDdWXY72
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTGcXed1jj
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ciTbbqhi
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.860Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjChpplPbf
Margaret, let me join you.
