floramundi- a world of flowers

i was walking through the forrest. well, it wasnt really a forrest. it was more like the space between two neighbors' houses in an area somewhere between nature and suburbia. i was on a "nature walk" to "get some fresh air". these are both quotes from my father. well, for me nature walks are about finding things interesting, and i had found nothing so far. so i was just about to give up and go home when i found the car.
it was periwinkle, my favorite color. the controls inside looked really old fashioned, like from the 50s maybe. in metal cursive, on the side of the car, was the word Gremlin. but neither the fabulous name, nor the fabulous color were the amazing part. the car was full of flowers. not just little white moldy ones, but daisies and roses and lilies and peonies and tulips and dandelions and baby's breath and jasmine and every flower you could possibly think of. they covered the inside of the car, and filled the hood and the trunk. the roof was beginning to crack from the strain of the enormous bouquet. it was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.
