I won't have access to that story until I get back into my office at the university where the entire file of "Roots" is in my Documents on my office computer. I'm very sorry.

I'll see how soon I can post the whole story on my LiveJournal blog.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-14915766375481267932011-12-30T08:32:40.821-05:002011-12-30T08:32:40.821-05:00I'm guessing that she gets to close to one of ...I'm guessing that she gets to close to one of the guardian plants. I love carnivorous plants, I collect them. They have an eerie alien beauty which is fascinating. I had a very large flytrap that once cleared my porch of yellow jackets and I wondered what they're last moments must have been like to have a plant turn against them.<br /><br />I like this story. It makes me wonder what Lily's story was.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-45501991002394006412011-12-30T03:12:30.118-05:002011-12-30T03:12:30.118-05:00Dammit!
