K8

Cold blood

My conscience is heavy.  I murdered Audrey III

Where once there were eager young claws pulsing with the blood of bluebottles, there is now a mouldy brown carcass.  Ironically enough, she is now being eaten by little fat flies.  How beautifully poetic is that?

I researched winter care, and it specifically said:

LET THE SOIL DRY IN COLD SEASONS AS THE PLANT BECOMES DORMANT

I watered it anyway, I couldn’t resist it.  She looked limp and dry, probably because she was asleep, and then I came up in the dead of her night and drowned her - I feel like such an evil bitch, thinking about the pretty flower she grew for me.  She even tried to grow another one in her desperate attempt to prove that there was still hope.  The tiny bud looked so pathetic surrounded by withered leaves, making me believe that she just didn’t have it in her to go the full hog so I cut it away.  This was the final straw before she gave up completely, poor thing.

R.I.P. Audrey III, I will miss your deliciously evil and twisted nature.

I feel there is nothing for it but to drown my sorrows in Age of Empires III for a few hours.
