Short story: Abandoned





A tree that caught my attention in a heavy traffic

It stood there alone and withering to death.

In a garden of the unknown, there was once a tiny beautiful purple flower. Butterflies seem to like it for most of them never forget to perch onto it. It blossoms pretty well that it attracted one distinct butterfly.  Everyday, the butterfly visits the flower while the latter waits for it patiently. In a short period of time, they shared a lot of things within the vast garden; the butterfly telling stories about the beauty of other gardens and the flower listens amusingly. 

One day, the butterfly didn’t come and the flower felt a pang in its whole being.  It was worried something horrible happened to it and it can’t help but cry with the idea.  It was helpless because it doesn’t have the ability to move around and find it.

Days pass by and no butterfly.  The flower thought something might have caught the butterfly’s attention more than it does and it decided to stop seeing it. The flower can’t do anything but to continue living and move on although most of the time it can’t contain the pain of losing its butterfly. 

Until then, the flower started to wither. Its petals were falling one by one until it became lifeless. 

Still no butterfly.
