Here Be FallMerydith opened her eyes and everything was fuzzy. Bright light streamed through the windows and hit her in the eyes. She disliked it and groaned. At least it was Friday, the last day of school for this week.It took a moment to shake the fuzziness out of her senses and allow things to come slowly into focus. Strangely, everything in the room looked different. The furniture and keepsakes at first seemed to be made out of jelly, for they appeared to wiggle crazily.As she finally sat up, everything seemed to stop moving. Everything looked normal again, except for one thing.Her jaw dropped and she rubbed her eyes for good measure. What she was seeing had to be impossible. She couldn’t believe it. Blinking her eyes did no good—the African violet remained huge.Merydith jumped out of her bed and ran to her plant shelves. It seemed at any moment the planter would collapse under the immense pressure now being inflicted upon it.All of the plants had grown immensely in a matter of days.
