"I'm a Wiccan now," my best friend announced, her voice filled with a mystical air. She had always been a bit…eccentric, but this felt different, like she had intentionally moved into a separate universe from me.

I decided I needed to get out of her house. It was full of crystals and candles. Before I left, I noticed a plant. She cared for it a lot.

I took the plant out of its pot. I threw away the dirt and roots. I put the plant, upside down, back into the pot.
