Frustratingly, they were out of the Speculoos cookie butter ice cream when you went to Trader Joe’s last week,
Yet you didn’t leave empty-handed: an orchid plant had caught your eye.
You brought it home and set it on the kitchen table. For the first few days you enjoyed the vivid new addition to your living space.
The orchid brought with it a sense of freshness to your normally spare apartment, a little life and color that brightened your mornings.
But the last few days you’ve noticed a change.
You’re not sure exactly when the alteration occurred, but you’re pretty sure it started sometime Wednesday.
That morning at breakfast you sat across from the orchid chewing your bagel and absentmindedly scrolling your phone, but by Wednesday evening the plant was demanding more of your attention.
And now you can’t look away.
Even turning your back on the now-seemingly-massive plant fills you with a deeply visceral sense of dread.
“Could it be growing that fast?” you wordlessly mouth to yourself as you send a quick email your boss to tell her you’ve come down with something.
You had to get to the bottom of it. You were distressed by the eyes that stared tirelessly at you, distressed by the judgement they leveled at you.
“Are you sure about those pants?” you fancied it said.
Or was it “they said?”
And once in a while you were sure you caught a sneer.
Just a little jiggle of the leaves and you’d notice that the plant had settled into a new expression, and it was never a benevolent one.
You were sure of one thing: this was the worst Trader Joe’s impulse buy that you’d ever made.
