Everything has a Story

Story 1: Don't Forget, a Red Rose has Thorns

Object: A bouquet of Red Roses and a half-made dandelion flower-crown.

Story: There was a lovely couple, made up of a dad named Jeff Holster and a reporter named Janice Cooper. Jeff has a daughter named Kala. Kala's mother and Jeff's wife sadly died unexpectedly when Kala was two. Jeff is in a mutual, "You don't bother me I don't bother you" relationship with Kala. Unlike Jeff, Janice is flourishing with Kala. She tells her all kinds of funny stories of behind-the-camera action and advice about life giving by all types of people who she has interviewed. When Jeff and Janice are at work Kala is watched over by Larry and Christen, Jeff's friend and  Larry's wife. But you see, Jeff was planning to propose to Janice. But the day Jeff wanted to propose to Janice went wrong, like a tornado had ran into a meditation studio. Larry, didn't listen to Jeff's request to get her fake roses and and got her roses as real as they could get because they were from Larry's father's flower shop, "Not Only April Brings Flower", taken from the expression "April showers, bring me flowers!" Jeff was planning on decorating Wesler park's big gazebo all around with the fake flowers. The decorating would be done by Larry and a couple of other friends while he distracts Janice from going to the park. Kala was already there making a flower crown out of dandelions for her. But on the day of the proposal, when they gave the extra-secret code word that no one would know, "We're done", Jeff sprinted Janice over to the gazebo blind folded only realize that the flowers were real and so Janice's neck flared up looking as though thousands of fire ants bit her at the same time. (Everything after this happened in almost the timing of a bolt of lightened) She gasped for air as Kala dragged her far away from the flowers while calling the emergency number and Jeff pounded Larry with questions about the flowers and why he could see miniature yellow specks on the white gazebo. Luckily the hospital was near by and came in just at the right time to save her. Before Jeff and Kala left with Janice, Jeff got a bouquet of roses laying on the side of the gazebo, smashed them on the ground, spit on them and then kicked them off near the side of the road. "You need to learn to follow orders that your customers give you unless you want that bouquet of flowers to be your pay check! Now everything's messed up!" Larry held back a sorry knowing that it wouldn't change his friend's anger and just laid his head down to his chest while tearing off the flowers bundle by bundle. As Jeff left to be with his girlfriend he took the flower crown out of Kala's hand and was going to keep it but the raging thought of anything that looked like a flower filled him and he threw it right where the roses he had thrown earlier were. "Let's go, you can make another one made of the hospital's straws." But Kala just ran to Janice leaving Keff in a half-way point between the ambulance and the gazebo filled with flowers. He had a long stare at the roses and there physique then chuckled and joked "I almost forgot that something so beautiful also has some thrones." As the sunlight made its way through the trees over Jeff, making it look like a fairytale, Jeff realized this day was not even close to that.

No one ever bothered to pick the bouquet of roses and the flower-crown of dandelion up. So then comes me, a few days after, walking along the sidewalk spotting red, yellow and green by the road.
