Today's prompt was one I really struggled with, and eventually I ended up falling back on the "evil sentient garden" concept so common in the fantasy novels I read as a kid, particular the Shannara series. And yes, for those of you looking for something a little lighter and more romantic, Days 10 and 11 should definitely scratch that itch for you. In the meantime, hope you enjoy this tale of dark sorcery and being careful what you wish for...
