You garden bloom in blood- bright red flowers to which I did not know the name. Despite the neglecting and overgrown state of the rest of your garden, these peculiar flora sprouted as if it was spring.

It is not spring, however.

Winter was heavily coating everything it could reach in snow. I can feel snowflakes melting into my uncovered mess of brown hair.

I walk past the strange flowers, up to your doorstep. I knock twice.

No answer comes from the other side.

I turn the doorknob and sigh when it clicked open. It seems you were not only neglecting your garden. I open your unlocked door and enter a dusty room.

It looks as if you left in a hurry, which made my frown. You never left your home. You found your scientific abode far too comforting.

I walk slowly over the wooden floors, my own hollow footsteps becomes ominous to me. You like the quiet and so I don't question it at first. The silence continue when I enter your study. I glance at your lab table filled with beakers, teat tubes and what-nots. There is a thin layer of dust coating them. I stop.

You do not like dust.

I frantically look around the room, spotting a torn piece of paper on your study desk. Black ink is calligraphied accross is in a hurriedly manner. I cross the room and anxiously reach for it, half - expecting the ink to smear against my fingers.

It is completely dry.

I tentatively bring the paper closer. I frown, thinking maybe I'm reading the words wrong but the words remain the same after a blinked twice:

The red is blood.

A strange hissing sounds draw my attention to the window next to me to find the peculiar red flowers ranking up against it.

My heart freezes as I realize they have teeth.
Eleventh entry for :iconflash-fic-month:

I didn't use a prompt for this one x.x though I tried writting it sort of with scifi/apocalyptic theme in mind...I've been written it on and off for a week or so.. but I think it's more or less okay to post now x.x (Sorry for any errors..)

Words: 315

Thanks for reading! o.o
