🧩 “The Case of the Dying Plants”

Your town has a problem. At first it seemed like bad weather, but now it’s clear: someone is killing the plants. Gardens, flowerbeds, even the trees along the street — all dying in strange, precise patterns. Most people shrug and say, “It’s just a blight.” But you don’t buy it. You notice things others don’t: the shape of footprints in the dirt, the way certain leaves curl, how it only happens in places where people rarely look. You are just a regular autistic student with a sharp mind and an eye for detail. Teachers call you smart. Classmates call you weird. You just call yourself curious. This time, curiosity might uncover the truth. --------- I really loved writing this one, and I think this is actually one of my favorite scenarios yet.
