So, the 30 stories in 30 days is going to have a loose meaning. I definitely tried to produce stories during the work weekend, but after 12 hours in the Emergency Room there is little juice left for creativity. Tuesday through Friday will have stories until the challenge is done! Enjoy some weird today.

Story: Convince a plant the reasons it shouldn't die:
Crazy Plant Lady
“George?”
“George!!! You can’t leave me.” She cried to the fading plant
“Don’t look at me that way. It isn’t your time, my dear.”
Betsy paused as if to wait for George’s reply. She stared intently. His leaves twinged every so slightly. Betsy gasped drawing her hand to her mouth.
“Seriously George, I’ve done my best. You know I’m perpetually forgetful, but I’ve watered you and loved you, haven’t I?”
Nothing. He was incommunicado with her. She felt he was giving her the cold shoulder. She’d have to lay it on thick.
“Darling, you must stay. If you go, who will I say Good Morning Bitch to in the morning? Who will I say Good Night Sweet Baby to?”
George’s leaves twinged again, but with vigor this time. One leaf stretching towards her as if to touch her cheek.
“If you leave me George I’ll have to get a cat. Please don’t make me get a cat!”
His leaves lifted high. He had a purpose, a life. He was needed.
“Oh George---you do love me.”
Nice!
