Once a year, every year, a special time must come. A time to celebrate, to rejoice in our good fortune, and of course, to give presents. Today is that time... for it is the inimitable
redwolfoz's birthday. And as her good, dear, and oh-so-lovable friend, I've hauled out my muse and done my best to write her a fic worthy as a gift.
Or, well, that was the intention anyway. I seem to have had a
slight problem with her prompt. ::blushes:: Heh.
In line with the requested "vegetation" theme, this supposedly simple little fic idea I had went and grew a plot. A plot! Ficlet's aren't supposed to have plots, 'specially not the b-day prezzie kind! But alas, this one does...
( 2000 words later, and the real story is only just beginning... )So now, if my Wolf does not object, I'll take a page out of her book and continue the tale in a series of short interconnected ficlets. If she so desires...
::bows:: By your leave, Red Wolf, I wish you a bountiful and joyous, Happy Birthday!
