it ain't easy being green

This next prompt reminds me of a story I so wanted to write when I was a teenager. For some reason, I had become enamored of the first line, "All her life, she had wanted to be green." I concocted this idea for a story that would revolve around a young girl who was basically a vegetable--unable to move or communicate, unable to do much but watch the world around her with little comprehension and long to be green like the houseplant on the windowsill before her. Needless to say, the story never went far.

But this prompt is still cool, so try it:

From Idea Catcher: You are a house plant. What do you think about the humans in your life--their habits, the way they live?
