Blueberry

Beth meandered through the many blueberry groves, lost in their intricacies. The sun was slowly setting, with a orange haze falling over her. She hadn't eaten since breakfast, and the many blueberries surrounding her seemed to be an inviting treat.

"I know the sign at the front of the farm said not to eat them, but they look so delicious..." Beth cusped a bundle of berries in her hand. The prospect of eating them only grew more tempting. In a sudden jerk, she picked the berries. with curiosity, and hunger, she bit into one.

You are 19. You live in a very cheap house in a suburban area near New York. It's very nice there. The air is fresh and flowers bloom in just about one week after the winter. Lucky for you, (and not for your neighbors), you have the most flowers grown in your lawn. But the city doesn't plant seeds. The flowers just grow on their own. Sometimes, you take one flower and put it in a pot by my window sill. It's wonderful. But one night, everything changed.
