Poppy’s Garden Adventure: Part 1
(An Everyday Tale of Good Versus Evil)

Written and illustrated by Mr. Mark B.

Poppy is no ordinary poppy. This is her story, a tale that begins not in the soil of Earth but aboard the Hymenoptera, a sprawling hive-like space station where bees craft the seeds of life. The workers create, the pollinator’s journey between worlds, and the warriors stand guard. Together, they protect life’s delicate balance.

But danger looms from the start. Watching, waiting, is the Evil Eye - a shadowy spaceship harbouring the malevolent forces of the dark side.

When Poppy and her seven seed siblings are packaged and delivered to Earth, they’re entrusted to the care of worm midwives (Poppy’s midwife is Wendy) who ensure they’re planted deep in the soil of 13 Malum Place, Woking. Nourished by moon water from the Sea of Tranquillity, Poppy begins to grow, reaching for the light. The garden flourishes, vibrant and full of promise.

Yet evil stirs. From the underworld emerges a terrifying threat: the Spina warriors and their Secasaurus machines, sworn to destroy all life and colour in the garden. The seeds are under siege. One by one, they fall. Poppy is the last survivor, surrounded by ruin.

But just when all hope seems lost, Big T - a fearless space ranger with a spacecraft shaped like a dog bowl—lands in the garden, offering Poppy a chance at survival. The battle for the garden is far from over. This is only the beginning of Poppy’s adventure.
