Rachel loved her garden so much she had her husband Henry put a bench facing her garden so she could spend hours reading in the sunlight and gazing at the beautiful flowers she planted. Rachel wanted her garden to be the envy of every garden grower in the state but wasn't really sure how she was going to do it so she read every book about gardening she could but she was getting frustrated.
Then one day when she was reading one of her books on gardening she just remembered that her husband Henry had a laboratory in their basement. Rachel decided that one night when her husband was doing one of his experiments she would peak her head through the doorway and watch what he was doing. Rachel quietly walked down the basement and slowly opened the door just enough to see what her husband was doing.
Rachel didn't want him to know she was watching him because he didn't like to be disturbed when he's working on his experiments. Rachel was getting more frustrated because she didn't see him working on any experiments on flowers. Just as Rachel was slowly shutting the door she noticed he went over to another table and brought a flower that was in a pot and placed it on the table. This got Rachel excited she slowly opened the door just enough not to be noticed.
Henry opened a blue bottle and placed a few drops of the solution on the flower and sure enough the flower got larger and more beautiful than ever. Rachel shut the door and scurried off to their bedroom and pretended she was asleep.
Then the magic began but there was one problem with this whole picture even though her dream of growing bigger and more beautiful flowers than anyone else in the state there was something evil lurking beneath her garden. Rachel was so happy to see her flowers grow so big she decided to sit on the bench right in front of her garden and shine her flashlight on her beautiful garden while her husband was fast asleep.
All of the sudden there was a rumbling beneath her garden. Rachel was getting very sleepy and dozed off and as she was sleeping dead bodies were coming to life because of the drops of liquid from the blue bottle she put on the petals of the flowers. Rachel's garden was on top of an ancient burial ground.
