The Last Thing They Said
The Last Thing They Said
Marcus can hear plants die.
Not sounds—thoughts. The thirst of dry roots. The weakness of dying leaves. The quiet feeling of something fading away.
He got used to it.
Working in a flower shop helps. He waters plants before they suffer. Cuts them before things get worse. Pretends this is normal.
Funeral flowers are different.
They carry grief. Too much of it. When people cry, the flowers absorb it—and Marcus hears it all.
So he avoids funerals.
Until she walks in.
She needs lilies for her father's funeral. Tomorrow. Her voice shakes when she says it was sudden.
But the flowers say something else.
They don’t talk about a peaceful death.
They whisper that something is wrong.
Marcus has ignored these voices for years.
Now he might have to listen.
And the truth could be dangerous.
