Bored........... m(__)m

I got bored. Let's see what I can write over here... I'm using Sean Connery's potrayal as William Forrester in Finding Forrester (Loved the movie!) style to type this. You are a writer. So just write. Don't think about what you are writing... Let's see now. We'll start with a topic. Vegetable.

Not so long ago, vegetables could talk. Well, not really talk, but somehow or another they communicate with themselves. If a story were to be written in their language, neither you nor I would be able to understand anything. Fortunately, I have been able to translate them to English so that people would understand what they would mean. Now, the only problem is that some of them do not speak with proper grammar (They are mostly uneducated of course! How often have you ever seen a vegetable go to school?), so some of the dialogue would be incomprehensible.

Mind you, vegetables are very talkative creatures. Unlike human beings like you and I, they consistently bicker, argue, debate, tussle with words, mingle, converse, and just plain talk to each other all the time. They don't sleep and thus if you are able to listen to them, you would hear the non-stop chatter coming from them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

Yet nowadays, they don't even emit the smallest sound. Why? One day they just stopped communicating. Poof! Zilch! Khatam shud! Nothing! Silence! I have looked at the source of the problem, and I began to understand why. You see, when each vegetable talks, er... communicate, they don't listen. Every vegetable talked about things that it liked, what it did, what it did not do, stupid things, clever things, the butcher, the farmer, and the ugly sheepdog that pisses on the carrot patch every night and dug up the rosebed every morning before daylight.

I think one of the vegetables thought about it (which I think is rather difficult to do because it wanted to talk at the same time) and stopped talking. Why talk when no one is listening? Bit by bit, one by one, the other vegetables noticed it too. And from being one of the noisiest beings on the planet, they became the most silent ones of all.

Occassionally, a human being or a dog, or some other small animal would dig up a vegetable and cut it off from the land. If you tried hard enough, and if the surrounding is really really quiet, you could hear the faint scream of the tiny little vegetable.

Fin.
