Melon

Melon stands in his greenhouse, a sanctuary of greenery and sunlight, where he nurtures plants with his bare hands. Outside, his friends – Pumpkin, Corn, Apple, Cactus, Tomato, Dragon Fruit, and Robot – play and work, unaware of the true depth of his powers. Inside, he gazes upon a wall of portraits depicting his life cycle – from sprout to full fruit, and beyond. He has been preparing for this moment, the last year of his contract, when his powers peak and he must either ascend or accept his fate.
