The Golem That Gardens
A stone golem, dormant for centuries, wakes and immediately begins gardening in the town square. It plants impossible flowers, waters with morning dew it collects in its palms, and hums in a voice like grinding millstones. Citizens are charmed. Mages are worried—it's not following any known commands. Decode what it's planting, learn who it's waiting for, or risk the garden's bloom releasing something ancient.
