Blossom

The principal said, ‘No plants at school.’
Automatic shovels were digging the schoolyard to remove the seeds of an unknown plant called ‘Cogitatio’. The shovels crunched them up as the pupils cried. They were crawling under benches, moaning out of despair.
Victor timidly exchanged a knowing look with his classmates and fetched a small bag of seeds. He hid it in his pocket and crept under a bench, hardly making any noise. One by one they took a seed and the seeds were ingested without delay.
The principal turned back and noticed an eerie flash of lightning in the classroom.
The pupils branched out and their boughs buried the principal.
