Friends of Monarch Butterflies
The other day, my friend Shay came over, and after our usual chit-chat, I took him for a short walk around the neighborhood. As soon as we stepped outside, I pointed to the house next door and said, “That’s Alyssa’s place. She doesn’t live here anymore, but she visits sometimes. She taught me a lot about milkweed and monarch butterflies.” It was a mix of truth, joy, and sadness—I haven’t seen Alyssa in a long time since she moved out of her mom’s house(the house next door), but she visits sometimes. Yes, it’s true: she really did teach me about milkweed and monarch butterflies. This piece is about that, and my further research, I suppose.

Once those green woods echoed with the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves, but now — silence, emptiness, and danger fill the air. With the trees gone, the wild animals have lost their homes and food. The lions and wolves, starving and desperate, have started sneaking into our village.
