Flowers (Part 2)

Okay, so this will be less of a part 2 and more of a summary of part 2. I’m just not sure where I’m going with it. Well, it’s more that I don’t know how to get where I want to go—at least, not without making this way longer than I originally meant it to be.

            So, a man with the same eyes as the woman asks Julia if he get a flower too. The man is well dressed in a nice suit though. I guess that they would walk around and talk for a while. Maybe he offers to buy her coffee in return for a flower. Julia would be skeptical of him but agree. Maybe they go on a couple of dates. Anyway, eventually we all find out that this man is the homeless woman’s son. He helps her out as much as she will let him, but she has schizophrenia and is paranoid and has delusions. She does not remember her son, which makes it very hard for him but he loves his mother too much to try to avoid the pain.

            Or, if I had wanted to take an easy way out, I would have just had Julia continue down the street handing out flowers until they are all gone. She would be so happy to see the smile on people’s faces that her day would have been all better. Not as good as the first one.

            Speaking of the first version, be aware of mental disorders. They are real and they can be very tragic, especially if they are not handled well. Respect others. We are all traveling hard roads, and some have more burdens than you see.
