In the Garden

I was so small even the ants were looking down at me. I was in the garden trying to move without a sound. I could not see anything beyond the tulips or past the weeds. The ants were cornering me against the door swinging their weapons everywhere. The leader has asparagus and his crew armed with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and artichokes. I could hear them whispering among themselves.
Bob said “I vote we take her to the queen!”
Jo said “Lets use the lettuce cannons! I’ve always wanted to fire one”
“NO… We can’t use the cannons until they attack us!” responded Bob.  
“Why don’t we just follow the orders from the king and make her eat all of her vegetables/ without feeding any /to the dog / under the table.” I was walking backwards when I fell among the cabbages. Then when the broccoli was almost in my mouth, I got up in a rush and ran along the fence. That is when I realized it was all just a figment of my imagination… my mom was just telling me to eat my greens.
