‘I’ll be joining Margaret pretty soon. I thought I might give it to you since it obviously meant a lot to her.’963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjmSoAfP2b
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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbERwkKg92
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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlajWQqgBT
‘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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K5IkuZ4cb
Oh, how I miss Margaret. How I wish she was still here.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPzHaCSg0p
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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1GIwSX2q5
It feels strange, having gone through so many days without her endless talking. It feels lonely.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajXIPgvccW
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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc7zLVf8Jx
I’m being carried away from home now. The only home I’ve ever known. I try to commit the image to memory.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlrAc91azm
‘I’ve no idea why on earth he even cares. It’s like Margaret’s craziness was contagious.’963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Bd9EJioy
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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4rlvkT1u0
‘I know right. Let’s ditch it in that trashcan down the road.’963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2QM5UNx6q
I guess this is it. I’m going to die in darkness. Without Margaret.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGlm47NXpU
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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQut06aVL5
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.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf4cKyolnL
I hope Margaret could hear those words. I want her to know how grateful I am.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pxpotpiv
I try to capture my last sun ray. It’s too quick. The top of the trashcan closes above me.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXCFluS6GS
I’m not scared. Peaceful would be the word for it.963Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC3Mx4ra3v
Margaret, let me join you.
