What's Growing in the Garden?

[Maxwell Grantly]

Together, Maxwell and Skippy stood back as the multi-coloured flowers began to wilt, causing a cascade of vividly-coloured petals to fall into the tall grasses. A small tear began to form in the corner of Skippy's eye and he held his big brother's hand tightly and looked up into his reassuring face

"The flowers are dying," he sobbed and he pointed to the multitude of wilting petals, laying upon the ground.

Maxwell held his hand tightly and smiled down at Skippy.

"Circle of life," he whispered, as a multitude of tiny buds began to swell in place of each passing flower.

Within a few seconds, the buds had fattened and blacked in colour. However, the tip of each bud retained the same vibrant colour as the flower that was originally in its place.

And then, one by one, the swollen buds burst open like pea pods and a black vampire kitten box gently dropped to the ground. Soon the garden was a sea of sombre-coloured vampire cats. However, each cat's eye retained the same vibrant colour as the flower that once bore it. The two elves stood watching in awe and then turned to smile at each other.

"They're beautiful," Skippy grinned to his bigger brother.

Maxwell held onto his brother's hand tightly and returned his smile.

"Our last seeds were the best, ehh," Maxwell whispered to his little brother.

However, his words were lost in the smooth swish of gentle rustles that the swaying grasses sung. The flowers had finally yielded their kitten fruits to the gardens and lay waiting to be picked up and loved by those who passed by.
