This is unusual.
It's very peaceful. The world is bright. The emerald green grass stirs as the gentle wind blows through the tranquil spring landscape. My "body", my leaves, my stems, my petals are all blown by the breeze.
This is also unusual.
The wind doesn't often blow on me. I'm in the middle of many sunflowers. On a normal day, they block the wind from hitting me, and there's usually nothing I can do but listen to the soft rustling of their spindly, chubby bodies.
I was the middle child and couldn't be seen from any angle. But today, their voices are quiet. I didn't hear them. Today, the wind is blowing on me.
-This is unusual.
Yet, the strangest thing is, here I am. I know this.
I swayed and moved my many big leaves up and down, which were green and red. During the day, my round and flat face always faced the bright sun above our heads, but now it did something unusual; I told it to turn, and it turned.
-I turned my round face to the left and it did just that. There was no one there.
I turned my warm face to my present right. My many honey-gold petals are only now beginning to sprout, for the season of my life has just begun. There was no one there either.
I was the only one left in the entire sunflower field. They are all missing. They have disappeared.
How unusual. Very very unusual.
I "look" around myself. I feel like this field, this meadow that I see, I feel like this is my home all along. I was not transferred or taken somewhere else. I am where I have always been, what I have always been; a sunflower.
But, for some reason, I was alone.
My kind is missing. There was no trace of their presence on the ground. I do not know why. I didn't feel their roots or any holes in the soil where they might have been before I woke up.
For some reason I was awake and I realized I was alive.
I don't think I've ever realized I was alive before. Honestly, it's peaceful here. This doesn't look that bad. However, I don't know why this happens. Is this normal? Do all sunflowers eventually become self-aware?
I slowly raised my head and looked at the sky and the sun.

For a moment, shadows covered the blazing warmth I was bathing in, as if something swooped down from the beautiful blue sky, something scary, something small, furry; a small, blue Colorful monster.
It chirped and landed on my face. a bird. I know it's a bird. I could hear it twitching. Instead, I screamed.
-Calm down and pay attention.
I screamed quietly as it thrust its beak into my face and began tearing at my body. It ate my precious seeds and was still young. They need more time.

Health Tip: "You are a sunflower. Sunflowers have no health points."
Ouch. I don't know what that means. Is that bird talking to me? I don't understand.
Slowly, I rocked my body from side to side, moving as fast as my body could move anyway, if there was a strong wind blowing against it.
The birds were unmoved. This horrible monster continued to steal more from me, greedily devouring my life essence. I could only watch in silent horror as this restless creature swung around in front of the space I could see, its disgusting little bird-like feet clamping around my stem, pecking at me. .

ts: "I'm just telling you. You're a sunflower. You don't get health points. Stop wasting my time and just die, okay?"
It continued to peck at me and I screamed silently. After all, I don’t want to disturb the world. It's a peaceful day and I would be rude if I disturbed everyone's peace.
Something rustled in the nearby forest.
The devil bird flew away, screaming in fear when it was disturbed. I am saved.
I straightened up, wondering how I had survived such a horrific endeavor. Will I ever forget these twisted nightmares that leave scars in my mind? These vicious beasts, gnawing at my flesh, and I am powerless to stop it?
-I have no idea. I am a sunflower. But now I'm missing a lot of seeds. They are also good seeds. I still have a lot of good seeds. But I used to have more.
I hope some of them escape and grow somewhere good. I want to see the same sun as them.
I looked up into the forest, toward my savior. The thing jumped out from a row of tall trees.
I like trees. They are strong, tall and smart. I am just a sunflower, I am not small, but I am not as important as a big tree. But that's okay. I'm calm. However, trees are often rude. They like to steal the sun and take it all for themselves.
I watched calmly as this strange thing approached me, part of its face missing. It also looks like a sunflower, but its body is not green. Its head is not yellow. There are only two large seeds on its strange face, one on each side. They are white and round with green spots inside. It pulled something behind it; a large wooden object that rolled smoothly across the ground.
How unusual.
-You are an ugly sunflower.
I don't mean to be rude to my savior, but I can't help but think so. Their long, curly brown petals are pulled back behind the head and do little to attract pollinators. Their two seeds, large and important as they appear on their faces, cannot be picked up by any bird of reasonable size. In fact, when I saw these strange things, I began to suspect that it might just be a flaw in nature. It even looks like it only has one set of reproductive organs, but I'm not sure. I'm just a sunflower.
We have male and female reproductive characteristics.
My savior stopped in front of me, looked around at the scenery, and then back at myself.
I lowered my head and looked at her. I'm taller. However, I want to see the sun more. Would you like to sit with me? We can watch the sun together for a while. It's not fully up yet and it's going to be a very quiet day.
-If the bird doesn't come back, that is.
The messages I was sending through my roots didn't seem to reach her. I couldn't help but notice that she, the stranger, had not sunk into the dirt. She seems to have no foundation. Instead, she has only two slender trunks that branch off from her stem and weigh down to the ground.
I think it is better to say she is a bird than a sunflower.
Am I wrong? Oh.
I faltered and slowly looked up at the sun. I am at peace and the sun is bright. Let us be at peace together, even if you are ugly and deformed.
The breeze continues to blow, blowing my petals and leaves. The warm summer breeze wraps me gently in a way I haven't felt since I was a little seed buried deep in the warm, soft earth.

oh.
I bowed my head, peacefully feeling the terrible, unbelievable, debilitating pain, and stared at my future savior.
The strange thing burrowed into the ground, tearing at the soil like some animal. She dug around me and hurt my roots because she was a little careless.
This is unfortunate. I love my roots. They are widespread and strong. They helped me find water. When the weather is dry, they reach deeper into the world. When the soil is moist, they stretch wider.
However, she dug up the dirt, and then, I discovered that the most extraordinary thing had happened; I was very moved. She grabbed my body and thick stem and pulled me and a chunk of my roots out of the ground and onto the big wooden thing she was pulling behind her.
-It hurts.
But at least I'm standing taller now. This means I am closer to the sun than before.
My roots cannot find water here. However, I still have a lot of things on my mind. But I couldn't dig through the wood I was on. I raised my head a little indifferently and looked at the sun. The sun was indeed closer than before.
How to please.

our actions. She returned to the front of the log and pulled it behind her, leading me somewhere else.
This is most unusual.
