Whose Garden Grows at Midnight
mysteryEveryone5 contributors · 3 paragraphs deep
Nadia decides to question the grown-ups first. Mr. Okafor swears he locked his gate. Mrs. Pratt swears she'd never touch his ugly pumpkin. But Nadia notices old Mr. Bell two plots over, very quiet, suddenly very interested in watering plants that were already wet.
Nadia walks over to Mr. Bell. 'Nice morning for watering,' she says. He jumps. Then his shoulders drop and he sighs. 'You're the one with the notebook,' he mutters. 'Fine. I'll tell you. But not here. Come to my shed.'

A possible continuation
In his shed, Mr. Bell admits he moved the pumpkin himself, hoping the shock would make Okafor and Pratt finally talk after years of silence. It worked too well. Nadia helps him explain, and the two old rivals shake hands at last.
