Before
I once bought a bundle of limp tulips and came home and put them in water. I was sitting near them and I was reading quietly and I kept hearing this unusual sound like a dull creaking sound. I look over and the tulips are half standing up compared to when I put them in water. I kept my eye on them for a bit and the sound was the tulips rubbing against each other as they were standing up and drinking water. I could actually see them moving and standing up, it was really beautiful, I felt connected to nature.
After
I took a flashlight and went home and put it in the water. I sat down next to him and read in silence and heard a strange sound like his unresponsive voice. I looked up and saw the tulips halfway down from the one that had been washed in the water. I looked into my eyes for a moment and stood with the sounds of tulips as they drank the water. I could really see him moving and standing, it was so beautiful, I felt connected to nature.
