Whose Garden Grows at Midnight
mysteryEveryone5 contributors · 3 paragraphs deep
Nadia decides to keep watch that night. She tells her mum she's reading in bed, then climbs out the window and sneaks down to the allotments with a flashlight and a thermos of cocoa. She hides behind the compost bins and waits, eyes glued to the pumpkin.
Near midnight, two small shapes creep into the allotments. Nadia holds her breath. It's Theo Lim and his friend Priya, giggling and pulling a red wagon. They heave the pumpkin onto it and start rolling. Nadia steps out and clicks on her flashlight.
