The Lonely Flower

     It's been really harsh. All my friends are gone. That bunny shows no mercy. All it does is come and stomp on us, wreck us, ruin us. Most of the flowers around me died from injuries, ranging from broken, leaking stems to torn, rotting petals. Some just died of fear. It all started back when we were first planted.

     We were all seeds, obviously, bought from your local Stein's. We were all crammed in a bag, though I didn't mind because I spent most of my time sleeping, so I didn't notice anyway. One day, we felt the bag shake. We were tossed and turned, rumbling inside. Then it all stopped. I couldn't tell, but I'm sure that two days had past before the violent shaking started again. Then the bag opened. Oh, how happy I was to have finally gotten to breathe! Unfortunately, within the next few seconds, that become once again a fantasy as we were separated into three's. We could hear each other calling and crying through the soil. Thank goodness I was put with my two best friends. Jem and Raphael. Yes, I know, it's weird for a girl like me to have both her two friends be guys, but I honestly couldn't care less. They're great friends, and at this point, I don't think it matters the gender. Anyway, back to the story. All three of us made the plan to escape, when suddenly, we felt water being poured on us. We panicked a little, when suddenly, something strange and brown popped out of Raphael. He screamed, and fainted. We both started laughing until the same thing happened to us. Well, let me just say, THAT shut us up. When we finally woke up, there were many more brown things sticking out of us. And they were much longer, too. It also felt like we were getting closer to the surface somehow, but I couldn't really tell. A few days passed, and we were up above the ground, so we couldn't even see those ugly brown things anymore. We could finally see out friends and family! Just as it seemed great, and all of us were tall and colorful, something happened. The bunny happened. It started out with Grandma Gladys. She just all of a sudden passed out. When she woke up, she said she saw something. Something white. It had red eyes, she said. Long ears and soft skin. She told us not to let its cuteness fool us. Then, she had a heart attacked. Every moment from then, even though we were pretty sure she was just crazy, we looked out for whatever she had been talking about. Then, it showed itself. The bunny came out of nowhere, it looking so adorable. Then, we forgot all about grandmas advice until he stepped on Grandpa Jack. And then Aunt Kathy. And then Grandpa George. Then some of my friends. More and more were being killed every day until it was just me.

      Just me in that lonely patch of flowers. The bunny never came back after I was the only one left. No, there would be no pride in killing us all. It's too bad that I'm too old to do anything now. It really is a shame that we all had to die a cruel and painful death. But not me. I was strong. But not strong enough to save them all.. and seeing that bunny hopping towards me, I can now say, I am not strong enough to save myself now, and this is the end of my story.
