Plant Killer


This morning when I got to work, I found my little plant had turned yellow and brown overnight and was drooping down in a most dejected manor. Crispy brown leaves surrounded the little pot. Poor little plant. It never had a chance, not even from the very beginning. As soon as it was placed into my hands, its fate was sealed, as I always have been and always will be, a plant killer.

"Your plant's looking a little sad there." Thanks Kali. I know. Even with a pencil stuck into the dirt to try and give the plant some stability, it still leans precariously.

"Maybe you gave it lead poisoning!" Thanks Sarah. Last I checked, pencils were made of graphite, not lead, but I appreciate your concern.

"You killed it." Thanks Lauren. I had a glimmer of hope that it was going to be resurrected and was just temporarily dead, but now I see the truth.

Go toward the light, little plant.

I hope it is in a better place. *sniff*
