‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VJPq2YGXR
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaPGTmPGbr
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJqWFSn9yf
‘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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp0btAE2b8
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU0ayFSQmM
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VBvDSgPu
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iAmB9OS8s
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzJSlhVc2G
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAqMdXgQuu
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBlBPlDVQC
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fUk2GQuii
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK5OqaLexD
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mJQrfCCpP
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo2yiSLxUg
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGchdj2YuN
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDakvAmpwfd
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO35j37zG8
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFGgFutWAR
Margaret, let me join you.
