‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’768Please respect copyright.PENANAFYd9VI6xlR
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.768Please respect copyright.PENANAYWmG0jlfB3
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.768Please respect copyright.PENANAECKbNx8jkB
‘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.768Please respect copyright.PENANAMHCuOwsDx4
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.768Please respect copyright.PENANADk033dYdQW
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.768Please respect copyright.PENANA1LzuktyhjM
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.768Please respect copyright.PENANAUfLE8Csn7m
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.768Please respect copyright.PENANAtVU15tMWu5
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.768Please respect copyright.PENANAHEJbmmkS9q
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’768Please respect copyright.PENANAq6ckUSAm8J
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.768Please respect copyright.PENANAEGIh6ekRiO
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’768Please respect copyright.PENANA1iyIA0XjJT
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.768Please respect copyright.PENANAALj9R5DrTF
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.768Please respect copyright.PENANAxeh4f7vjxp
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.768Please respect copyright.PENANA4NHaPZA92w
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.768Please respect copyright.PENANAyjA0IksuMW
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.768Please respect copyright.PENANAXV7hWGwddz
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.768Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZEa51ii5t
Margaret, let me join you.
