“Hand it over, now!” is being yelled at me as I’m backed into a wall. Three officers surrounded me, and each yell something to me. Me ears are ringing as I tighten my arms to my chest. The thing that I’m holding is a plant. It’s one of the last plants in our society. I’ve keep this plant for so long and was trying to plant it, but I got caught. “Give us the plant now!” I shake my head no, and tears start to pour out my eyes. The officers all look at each other, then stare me down. “I’ll give you to the count of three.” I shake my head and look down. “One.” “No.” “Two.” “No!” “Three.” “NO!” Two of the officers slam my body into the wall, as one grabs the plant between my hands. I cry out but I know nothing is going to stop them. The officer throws the plant on the floor, as I’m crying and begging them to stop. “Kill her.” “NO, I’M SORRY PLEASE.” The main officer walks away leaving me and the other two. “I’m sorry please.” I’m out of breath, and hang my head low. “Please”

Bang!

My body collapses on the floor, and the plant and my hand touch. The officers walk away, and leaves me and my plant behind.

Roots and the vines of the plant wrap and grow on my body.

My body is covered with flowers, vines, and branches for everyone to see. I’m the plant and it is me.
