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.
