‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMITf0RA2c
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zGX3M7Qri
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iBzcnDgjx
‘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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PbSkhC4La
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYdusjX2fC
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4pfcfCAzb
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRXiWAc2ER
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtATqtk7Qim
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71CpWLYYwD
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fN22BvJX3
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXp4QD20Dp
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFgWBx78hr
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqLjPfI0XE
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TByZYcHqq
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.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyIRd65a7B
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKJXFOsOXe
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG4tmHjxQF
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.1025Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Zx3T0EQD
Margaret, let me join you.
