Whispers From The Garden

In a secluded corner of the world lies a garden like no other - a place where beauty and danger intertwine with every petal and leaf. Mable Blackwood, renowned for her culinary genius and deep understanding of plants, has cultivated a space that is as much a sanctuary as it is a silent arbiter of fate. Half of her garden is a living pantry, brimming with herbs, vegetables, and fruits that make her dinners legendary; the other half, however, harbors deadly plants with the power to end a life.

Guests come from miles around, drawn not only by her exquisite meals but by a deeper, unspoken longing. Some seek her cooking to fulfill their appetites, while others wander through the garden, mesmerized by its darker allure—tempted by the poisonous blooms that whisper promises of death. As they move among the flowers, Mable listens, watches, and waits. She knows their desires, even when they do not speak them aloud, and occasionally, she serves both life and death on a single plate.

In this tale, we explore this morally complex character who sees herself not as a murderer but as nature's instrument, providing a merciful end to those who unconsciously seek it through her garden's gifts where some are satisfied, some are changed, and some… are never seen again.
