Eat Your Flowers Novels & Stories

Fine by me. I wrap her in my arms, lowering us to the ground so I can hold her better, and I keep kissing her—her mouth, her cheek, the line of her jaw, her neck. She giggles and squirms, and I stop immediately. I don’t want to give her any reason to draw away. Nearby, her sad, struggling flowers flutter in the cool breeze. “Why are you growing those? Why not squash?” Squash will grow anywhere. You can’t stop it. It’s good eating, too, in a soup or roasted with butter.

Grinning mischievously, I went around his home and gave it a deep cleaning. Afterward, I rested at his kitchen table, saw flowers in the field, and decided to go out and grab a bunch to put on his table. “Men only receive flowers during their funeral,” Lana growled and I rolled my eyes. “Guess I see that differently. There's no reason why a man can't receive a bouquet of flowers,” I responded to her cynicism. Heading to the rear of his home, I walked into the field and began plucking handfuls of Aster, coneflowers, and a few cosmos.

Eva’s Point of View By the time Theo and Elias burst into the dining room, I’m already sitting at the table, one leg crossed over the other, sipping tea like I have nothing better to do on a cursed afternoon. The flower sits in front of me. Perfect. Whole. Gently glowing. They both freeze when they see it. Theo’s mouth actually opens, which is rare enough that I consider making a note of it in my journal later. Elias leans in first, squinting at the petals like it might explode. “What the—?”

Lila "What?!" I got off the bed and rushed to him. Cyrus moved away from me like I was going to attack him. "Miss….." He was taken aback. "Repeat what you said. What do you mean by Rain Flowers are Poisonous?" My hands were shaky as I spoke. But……they couldn't possibly be Poisonous, could they? They looked so pretty, how could they possibly harm anyone?! "Those flowers are dangerous, Miss. They might be attractive but they are Poisonous. Anyone who consumed it wouldn't survive up to a day before he died." He had a confused, frightened and questioning expression on his face all at the same time.

“These are for you. Thought you might like something to brighten your day.” Mia hesitated for a moment, her gaze darting toward me before she reached out to accept the flowers. “I actually wish you had brought something to eat. It’s not like I can eat this,” Mia muttered, her lips curling into a frown as she glanced at the bouquet.

Cedric soon returned with their lunch. He had bought quite a few packs of it. They all suited Faye's tastes. Flora couldn't help glancing at Cedric again. He was very calculative. He had a firm grasp of what Faye liked. "How can we possibly finish all of these?" Flora's tone was unpleasant. "Wasting food is a shameful thing to do." Cedric smiled. "I didn't know what you liked, so I bought a little of everything. It's alright if you can't finish it all. I'll feed it to stray dogs afterward."

nature separates us from the Heavens that created and governs among us, humans. Their hands got caught of an unexpected wild flora near them, and they picked some of its flowers tenderly without damaging the whole plant, especially the thin stem part. They chewed its flowers, which got a subtle sweet taste, not making you thirsty which any other processed sweets can do to the usual human tongue.

He took off another Blood Crown Devils, skillfully pulled out the stamen, and stuffed it into his mouth. "Two..." Leny Holly held his breath.”The poison should have taken effect..." Then he saw that the other party took off the third one and ate the stamen. Then, the fourth flower, the fifth flower... In that instant, the remaining thirty or so Blood Crown Devils in the flower bed were removed by this person in front of them, eaten. Looking at the man as if nothing had happened, and then at the bare flower pole, Leny Holly felt dizzy and his legs went limp.

He took it swiftly and smashed it on the table, causing the food served on it to turn into a mess with the flowers becoming disarrayed and had their petals falling everywhere on the table. "You don't deserve this flower. And I didn't buy it for you. I bought it for my mother because she said that this was supposed to be a dinner between me and her. So don't even think about flattering yourself by thinking that I'm being nice to you. You don't deserve my decency."

Unfortunately, the happy times were long behind them. Cassiopeia took out the pictures and tore off Lucas's figure from each one of them before throwing them into the trash can. Anya and she were the only ones that remained. Halfway through packing, she caught the whiff of a repulsive smell. She frowned instinctively. When she went to open the door, the smell grew sharper. When she had taken a few steps forward, she was hit with a heavy wave of nausea and almost lost her balance. She staggered a few steps before planting herself against the wall. Her head felt like mud.
