Chapter 0:
Little green apocalypse
There is only one thing that change since that day.
I was
able to learn thanks to these events.
I don’t regret anything.
Here
is the story of who led me so far.
A
greenhouse full of different plants, we could say they are damaged by time, and
yet…
This place should not be in this state.
“I should be able to do something”
That's what my mother would have done.
Yes, she would have done that.
Mom never showed me her talent with others plants.
But each time I came into her “world”, I was convinced of it.
Her powers were way greater than mine.
“Grow “
Plants ahead of me, small enough to protect them with one hand, began to thrive to the point they cover me, and finally to cover holes present on the roof.
“Thank you for your work”
I thank them and resume my journey.
Like my mom, I’ve decided to become a botanist.
I study and analyze plants; it allows me to understand them and to make them
resplendent.
It was really hard at the beginning; I was only able to grew some light blades of
grass.
But now, I can easily help them to rise structures a bit more imposing, like plant
stems.
I wish I could show her all of this.
I’ve spent all my life until i was sixteen with my mother, who was my only family.
She was talented and wonderful “Mother of plants”, every plant she took care of was happy.
I’ve always asked myself what she felt, as she was always seemed mad with joy when
working.
Even when I was capricious, she stayed always so sweet.
And when I was crying, she introduced me a new plant form her universe.
Of course, I was fascinated by that, so I was always forgetting my sadness and
refocused this feeling into this new living being.
…
I miss those days.
I don’t know what to do without you…
“Mom…”
I must not cry, I need to…
Need to…
…
I must find what is the cause of all of this.
They are all suffering; the reason of their ailments shouldn’t be this far.
It’s a little scary, I’ve never gone further than the garden, outside of the house…
Mom never wanted to bring me outside, she told me It was for my own good.
I imagine there’s a lot of scary things in the outside world, and that is the reason she doesn’t want to.
But I’ve grown up since that day, I must now be able to fend for myself, without her…
