Today I read a short story called "The House Plant" by Jeremy Ray, which was sent to me in exchange for a review.
First of all, so much is packed into this lovely little story. The story is told from the perspective of a grumpy fern that has lived in a store its whole life and has no intention of living with humans. Much to its chagrin it is picked up by Brenda, a woman who thinks that the plant was just waiting for her to rescue it from the store.
What follows is the fern's development as it learns to live with Brenda and I was quite taken with how much character this stubborn fern had. I can't say much more without spoiling it since it's a very short tale!
If you love plants or know someone who loves plants and nature, do check this one out! It is free on Kindle Unlimited or you can easily find it on Amazon. The author also has other short stories and novels and I'll definitely be reading more from him!
Also,this ebook comes with a micro-story that made me feel a lot! It involves dandelions and the gift of being unique.
