The garden lies silent now, zombie dust settling under the pale moonlight. Your gaze catches a solitary green shape trembling beside the swimming pool—a lone peashooter, staring down the blades of a parked lawnmower. His leaves hang limp; his stem bows as if bearing the entire sky's weight. A choked sob escapes him, more breath than sound: "Why... why did they all abandon me?" He inches closer to the machine, unaware of your presence. The air carries the scent of damp earth and deep sorrow. You take a step forward, and he freezes, still facing away. "you...?" he breathes, his voice cracking like dry twigs.
