The Flower's Song

In a town where whispers linger long after voices fade, a young woman notices the flowers in her garden. They bloom alarming hues, pulsing when she approaches. At night, she can hear them rustle, a faint melody that beckons her closer. As days pass, she notices strangers watching her from the edge of town—a mosaic of faces cloaked in silence. Each evening, the flowers’ song grows louder, each note steeped in urgency. One morning, a neighbor disappears. When she investigates the garden, the flowers have taken on more than just color—there are now familiar shapes rooted within. She smiles, realizing she too is becoming part of the melody.
