Whenever someone thinks of having superpowers, they usually pick flying or super strength. But Dunnie has a different sort of power. He can help plants grow. He didn't always have control of his powers, but he's learning.

This original and well-written tale is a peek into the life of a boy who just wants to forget the trouble in the past. And maybe make a friend. It's clever and inspiring.

Clever flash story about a boy with strange and dangerous horticultural powers. Heroes often have powers to destroy things, but in this case the boy's skills are quite the opposite. Hoping the author does a longer story with these characters some day.

I thought Seedling was a cute very short story. It started with a nervous boy to a boy who said screw it and wanted to just be himself. People saw him as a little monster cus I'm sure they didn't understand, but it seems like maybe he made a new friend, so that's good. cute short story.

What is your superpower and how are you using it? It's so easy to use it the wrong way. We could take a lesson from Dunnie.
The Seedling is an inventive and moving tale.
