a boy for sunflowers (krii7y) [completed]

in a small town suddenly hit by waves of violence and deviance, the consequence being that a boy gets caught in the crossfire of gang culture. it devastates the community, but it brings people together, perhaps some more closely than others.

lucas doesn't believe in fate; he thinks fate is a bully, it's unfair and unforgiving. he looks elsewhere for guidance, to make sense of what happened, and what cruel world would take his friend from him.

john knows there is blood on his hands that he can't wash off, but when he sees the boy dressed in black weeks after his friend's funeral in honour of his death, there an unshakable feeling even sunflower seeds can't fix.

nothing would ever be the same, in the town of the sunflowers.
