"What if..." Story

Another example of narrative story or narrative writing is "What if..." story. "What if..." story is a fiction story about what will happen if something in our world changes or disappear. Last time, I took a theme "What if plants could talk?" I answered this questions in a form of story.

Shouting Plants

      Once upon a time, some farmers were planting their crops in a field. All happened normally, until a few of months. That time, a farmer who lived near with the field heard singing song like a choir. He ignored it and thought that it was only a problem in his ears.

     A few months passed without that sound, and it was the time to harvest. The farmers harvested them as usual, but a magic happened. When the scissors, axes, and other harvesting tool cut them, they shouted very loud. They shouted, "Hey, you! Don't cut that part! It is my food restoration! Evil you!" Another one shouted "Aaaaaarrggh!!! Aaargh!!! Don't hurt me!!!" Now, they know, that the plants could speak. The farmer who heard a song few months ago be a witness about the talking plants. He heard that they sang alike human, based on their voices and expressions.

    The farmers continued harvesting until it was finished. When the plants were thrown to the box, they shouted because of hurt. And even when they were thrown to hot deck of the truck, they shouted again. That time, there was a big chaos on the field and even on road and streets, because the plants shouted because they hated being at a bumpy, hot, or cold trucks. They grumbled like a human in the jail. They said "Take me out from here! This places is very uncomfortable!"

   At markets and supermarkets, they also kept grumbling. All places containing vegetables, such as fields, trucks, streets, roads, green grocers, markets, supermarkets, restaurants, and even house's kitchens filled with that annoying noise. Even the cook, who cut the vegetables and salad lovers who ate raw vegetables, heard that noise. "My God! You put me in a hot pan? What do you want?", they shouted to cooks in a restaurant.

   When a new 'planting' season started, the farmers still planted new plants. But, that time, the plants didn't grow. They just made a lot of noise without growing. "I don't want to grow... I don't want to give anything for the evil one.", they grumbling as they didn't want to grow. It made a vegetable crisis around the world and made prices of vegetables increasing. This made an even bigger chaos than just noise. "No carrots all around the world. If you want, $ 1000 per kilograms!", they said one another.

   Some scientists searched how to stop that disgusting noise. They developed a medicine which can stop any noise from any living things except from human. Those scientists had tried to stop a cat's noise, a dog's noise, and a bird's noise. Then, that medicine distributed to all farmers around the world.

   Finally, all plants stop talking. They grew again like normal plants, before they could talk. They also as productive as normal plants. After a few months, vegetable price started to decrease. Nowadays, vegetables don't shout anymore. The world become very peaceful now. Everyone is benefited by the scientist's invention.
