Various kinds of vibrant flowers in front of me, the wind made them sway back and forth. The moons shine glowed onto it.

"Finally... most of it's complete, now I just need to wait for one last thing."

I turn my head towards the center of the flowers, there was a clearing in the shape of the circle revealing soil. In the middle, a small green bud stood out, it was a sapling I had planted a few days ago. The place I was currently at was my back yard. I had decided to start a small garden there, as for the reason why...

Back in my middle school days, my class went on a field trip to a zoo. Like almost every other kid, I also signed up to go. I wasn't really excited to see the animals or anything, it's just that I could skip classes with a good reason. Anyways, my class arrived at the zoo, what I saw once I stepped out the bus were flowers of many species, roses, dandelions, lily's and such. In the center of it all was an enormous tree at the time, it was a view I would remember for many years. It was that very scene that made me want to make a garden once I had gotten my own home.

Okay so, I am a 25-year-old male, I have black pointy hair that sweeps to the right along with black eyes. After I graduated high school and two years to finish college. Right after, I got a job as a teacher, I don't teach subjects such as Math or English, but biology. Well, my classes are usually about plants after I finish the required material to teach. Luckily my students seem to enjoy learning about plants better than fish or animals.

The school I work at is currently on summer break, I finished all my paper work so I could finish up my garden. It took me two out of the three months of summer break to grow, the only thing left I had to grow was the tree. The tree I had seen on my field trip was the thing that stood out the most to me. Though I won't go into specifics about the sapling I planted, it would grow into a spread type tree one day.

Looking over my garden once again, I saw a light I placed near the sapling turn off. The light was connected by a cable from a electrical port I installed outside for ease, the light shines brightly when I turned it on at night. Walking towards the light, I look at it, I place my hands on the metal rim. Bzzt, my hand went numb, my senses went dull, I'm being electrocuted! I fall towards the clearing where my sapling was, making contact with the ground, I fainted.

Ugh... what happened? All around me was dark, one space however lit up, there I saw a seed. Oddly, the seed was buried, but the soil seemed transparent to me. I'm getting mixed messages here, did I die or is this some sort of lucid dream? Seriously, I remember being electrocuted, I know that wasn't a dream so is this a dream? The light around the seed started to intensify, in turn, I got blinded by it, but strangely it didn't hurt.

"Ugh... I'm groaning so much today..." I said as I was regaining my senses. Looking around me I was still inside the garden, the moon was still up so I guess I wasn't out for more than a few hours. I decided to forget about this all since I was still tired, I quickly brushed my teeth, took a shower, and jumped in bed. Good night tomorrow's problem.

The next day, I called electricians early in the morning to look at my light, they said the problem was a faulty connection and the electricity coursed through the metal. Of course, they didn't know I got electrocuted, they just warned me I could have been. Well, that was dangerous. I asked them if they could fix it, they agreed and my light was working once again.

I look at my garden once again and made a refreshing smile, then I saw the light, lets not do our own electrical work ever. Thinking that, I water the flowers and tree sapling, afterwards, I would just hang out with some of my friends or laze off. Once the schools summer break ended, I went back to teaching a new group of students.

This cycle repeated for 43 years, I had retired at the age of 68. I got married with a fellow teacher when I was 29, we had four kids together. I could have retired earlier but my children kept on needing money, so once they had gotten onto their own feet I kept working. My wife had also worked in the school together with me, we decided to retire together and spend the rest of our lives living with each other.

I slowly got up the chair I was sitting on, guiding myself through my house, I ended up at a sliding glass door. Opening it, I went through and entered into my garden. Looking at it still brings me great joy. The vibrant flowers had to be replanted every once in a while but it was worth it to own this view. Unlike in the past, a massive tree stood in the center of the flowers, you couldn't see the circle clearing any more.

The tree I had planted long ago had finally grew to such a size. The light I had place near it had been move because the tree grew larger than expected. I'm satisfied with the tree growing this large though, even thought it took up 1/10th of my back yard I felt it was worth it.

Another 20 years passed, I'm at the age of 88, currently on my death bed. Luckily, my wife passed away before I had happily, well, it was lucky to me since I didn't want her to feel sad. I lived on for three years after her death, but my will to live had a limit. I asked to be placed lying down under the tree in my garden. Surrounded by colorful flowers, I was satisfied knowing this would by my grave, one I had made myself. The land was now my property which I passed onto my children to take care of. All of them were giving me smiles with tears welling up in their eyes.

I close my eyes, feeling like it was instinct, "Good bye..." I uttered with my last breath. I felt my face form a smile before everything had turned pitch black.

This is strange... why am I still concious, did I mistake my own death timing? I try to open my eyes, it didn't work, now that I notice, I couldn't even feel anything. Oh, specks of light started to move around in the pitch black space, there was a trembling noise which scared me a bit, but I don't think I'm going to get a heart attack. Pop, the sound stopped and I could see the sky, I heard a strange sound at the end but I'll ignore that.

I try to look around, but something felt unnatural, well, this whole situation is unnatural to begin with. Looking around some more, I realized I my view was turning to smoothly and it went over 360 degrees! Turning my view down I saw a green stalk sticking out of the ground. Oh...
