Forgotten Spring

By Meyari McFarland

Parris leaned back on xyr heels, studying xyr lovely little balcony garden. Stalks of corn with purple leaves towered over xyr head while beans with bright red leaves and electric blue flowers spilled across the balcony. Xyr tiny water garden held lovely fish the size of a bus deep under the surface of the water.

…Wait. Parris didn't have a balcony. Or a garden.

Xe fought as the impossible beans wrapped around xem, reaching into the water and finding far more than xe could ever have imagined.

Forgotten Spring is an urban fantasy with a twist that will get into your mind and stay with you for years.

Xe should probably go get a hat but the garden was nearly weeded so no. Not yet. Just another couple of feet and xe'd have the whole thing cleared out.

And it was such a nice garden, too. Stalks of corn with purple leaves towered over Parris' head. Between the rows of corn there were beans with bright red leaves and electric blue flowers. Then below the beans were lovely ponds six or eight inches wide but miles deep. When Parris looked,
