Mushroom Harvest<br />
“I’m not ready,” she zipped and dodged the hands.The<br />
mushrooms had grown to ripe on her head. Mushrooms with<br />
red caps and yellow stems, soft and round, sprouting from<br />
mushroom follicles.<br />
“Oh, but you must,” responded the hands. It was Harvest<br />
Season. They encircled her holding shears.<br />
“It must be done now!” said one hand.<br />
“For tomorrow the mushrooms will be spoiled” added another.<br />
The hands grabbed the girl firmly by her wrists. Her fragile<br />
bones snapped under the grip. “CRrriiiacck," was the sound her<br />
bones made. The hands giggled with glee. They sat her in the<br />
uphostelred velvet chair. Her arms akimbo and awkward at the<br />
fracture points.<br />
The hands raised their shears and gathered at her back. Cutsnip,<br />
snip-cut at the mushrooms. One by one from her head.<br />
Another fruitful season for the hands.
