In an apartment building in a very big city, a man and a woman were neighbors. They were both very lonely, but shy. So they sought each other’s attention with small anonymous gestures. Both kept plants outside their front door. So when the man watered his plants, he watered hers a little too. To show he cared. And when the woman watered her plants, she watered his a little too. To show she cared. Both plants eventually died from over-hydration. But their deaths were the ice-breaker; companionship followed. Thus, the circle of life– all things grow from the sacrifice of those that came before.


Ian Lendler is the author of Alcoholica Esoterica, a non-fiction history of alcohol, and An Undone Fairy Tale, a children’s picture book, which sadly features little to no alcohol. He is a fan of the Mets (both the baseball team and the sausage that is a Cincinnati-area delicacy).
