So...yeah, you’re probably wondering what happened, so, here goes...at least the best way I can explain it:

I was falling through a void. In a way, I saw everything there was to ever see, but at the same time, I saw nothing at all. I was plummeting through everything I would ever witness for the rest of my life, but it all went by to quickly for me to take in, I closed my eyes, but that didn’t help at all. Stupid transparent eyelids. Then I felt a hand grasp mine, it was cold as the Void, but at the same time, warm as a trillion quasars. It was Gnomus’s. He didn’t utter a single word, but I knew what I needed to do. I let all the fear slip out of me as I flew facefirst into the unknown...

...And just as suddenly as it started, it stopped, and the next thing I knew, my head was completely buried in a strange dirt-like substance. After about a minute of struggling, I managed to yank my head out of the ground, almost snapping it clean off, but that wouldn’t be much worry, as it just simply regenerates like the rest of my-no, a cursed body that my consciousness was trapped inside. Anyway, as I looked around, the terrain seemed...normal, at least. There was no sign of civilization, just a bunch of purplish-brown soil completely lacking vegetation. Could this be...Hell?! No...if it were, why would—

'''”I see you have arrived without...consequence. Here is where I mush leave you. I trust you’ll find...comfort here”'''

...And just like that, he’s gone. What a bunch of shit. Could that gnome-ass really have just trapped me in hell?! Guess there’s only one way to find out. I begin wandering-no, flying across this lifeless terrain. After what felt like hours of roaming the wasteland, I noticed something...a sunrise. Maybe this isn’t Hell after all.

I decided to just lay on the ground and enjoy this natural phenomenon. I have no regret in mentioning how us Sunflowers are naturally attracted to the Sun. Heck, it’s what we were named after. In the early days, it’s what we relied on to produce and spit out droplets of solar energy necessary for the placement of other plants. Hey, I don’t know how it works exactly, I was never there in person. Whenever I would stare at the sun, it’s like it was speaking to me, telling me to put the bad aside and continue on wit my life. I had only ever seen a sunrise once before in my life, and that was when I was still in my mother’s lap...if only I could remember what she told me...

The sunlight would normally soothe my petals and make my face feel all mushy and ticklish, but, of course, it simply shines right through my body. Another reason to hate this form.

As I continue wandering, I eventually see a tree. Normally I would just ignore something like this, but considering it’s the only thing I’ve seen that’s actually alive so far, I’ll take it. As I approach the tree, I spot another, and another, until there’s a whole forest of them. However, as I approach them, they appear to be...decaying. They have massive ugly holes in their “bark”, as well as being almost completely stripped of leaves, if that’s what even grow on them. I guess the concept of trees isn’t exclusive to Earth...unless this is Earth. Gnome-ass said he could control time, so...fuck.

As I approach the forest and pass through it, I notice no grass, no animals, no nothing. Save for this dying forest, there’s nothing here. Nothing but that small village over there...hold on, village?! I’m saved!

As I fly over to this collection of structures, I am welcomly greated...by a barrage of gunshots.
