Sunflower Seeds
Prompt: a destructive accident
Card: Knight of Pentacles + 9 of Cups from the Hayworth Tarot
Eleanor, a reckless girl, spent all her free time helping out the local botanist. One afternoon the botanist offered her some rare seeds to plant. He mentioned that she shouldn’t get them wet until she was ready. They’re quick growers.
When she got home that evening, she was hungry but didn’t want to make a late night snack. The seeds in her pocket looked like sunflower seeds so instead of planting them, she ate them and went to bed.
Pain woke her up. A vine was climbing and branching from her stomach. She wondered if she should water it now...
