The Man Who Spoke to a Cabbage
They say madness begins in silence. But in my case, it began in the garden. I wasn’t always the man who spoke to vegetables. Once, I was an ordinary shopkeeper with a small life — shelves of canned beans, customers who came and went, and an old radio that hummed away my loneliness. Then came the fire. It swallowed the store, the street, and the pieces of my life that had any shape. After that, words felt useless. I stopped talking to people.

Waves
I believe people should get a proper send off when they leave this world, so I say my farewells on the beach, with castles made of sand and flying colors in the sky.
