Hyacinth by Wolfgang Glinka
Her mother had left her by that muffin shop.
Not in it because that would have led to trouble.
There had been incidents in cake shops before; sweet shops too.
No..she was to stand outside the muffin shop and to stay there whilst mom went to somewhere.
She couldn't remember what her mother had said really. She wasn't listening.
She was good at remembering the important things though.
She had to stand outside the shop which was full of really delicious muffins whilst her mother went off to have fun somewhere without her.
Well that was just so unfair.
There were times when she hated her mother. Loads of times.
Then she noticed the hyacinth bushes.
They were talking to her.
When her mother came back from the doctor, it was with a sigh of inevitability that she noticed that Mathilda had gone.
So had the Hyacinth Bushes.
Well they had been cut down....violently.
When did she find the knife again? Her mother thought as that old feeling of fear returned.
She shouldn't have left her there. She knew that now.
It had all seemd to be going along so well.
For nearly six months now Mathilda had been a good girl.
There was much less violence in the home. She had not attacked her mother for nearly a year now and she was almost friendly when visitors came round.
And now this.
She came home of course.
Late that night.
When the police found her mother's body, they said it was one of the most distressing sights they had experienced in many years.
"It was a terrible death", the inspector said; "over two hundred knife wounds".
"It was strange how the woman's daughter managed to do it. She was a very small lady. No more than five foot tall and aged, approximately in her late forties.
Inexplicably, the body was covered in Hyacinth flowers"

Hyacinth
Her mom told her to wait by the muffin shop, but the giant hyacinth bushes seemed to be calling her name and she being the inquisitive young minded individual she is went to investigate. As she got closer to the plant her ears caught giggling from the other side. As she peeked over the top of the flowers Jane saw a boy on the other side of the hyacinth rolling on the grass in laughter, with a Dalmatian pup watching in inquisitive interest. Approaching the boy Jane asks, “Did you call out my name?”
Pushing himself off the grass and failing in an attempt to put up a poker face the boy responded, “What are you crazy, it was the bush talking to you!” Then no longer able to contain his laughter any more, the boy felling back onto the grass and snickered, “Of course it was me, what are you a fool?”
“Now see here you little boy!” Jane barked back, “My mother raises me to be no fool, and I sure as hell’s not one. Now if you’re no fool either you might as well tell me your name since you all ready know mine.”
Adopting a nonchalant innocence attitude only a child could muster the boy stuck out his hand and said, “I’m sorry, my name is Dick, and this here is my dog Spot.” He however did not sound sorry at all.
As Jane went to shake his hand, she suddenly felt a sudden shock go through her hand and spread out to the rest of her body. Jumping back for the boy, Jane notices a hand buzzer hidden within the palm of his hand. Right as she was about to do something, Dick yell out “Got you!” and started running away for Jane with Spot in hot pursuit.
Jane not one to take anything sitting down started to chase after him around the courtyard of the mall surround by giant hyacinth bushes all around. Jane made a new friend that day in ways only children are able to. Only children are able to muster up the courage to approach a stranger one moment, and play with them the next without a care in the world.
