The Flower Shop

​A family owned a flower shop that they had been running for multiple generations.


Today, there were three generations in the shop; the grandfather, his son, and his grandson.

Each of them catered to a different type of customer:

The grandfather dealt with a lot of roses and bouquets.

His son, who carried out most of the day to day business, took care of a lot of bulk orders fo venues and weddings.

The grandson mostly dealt with corsages and nose-gays.

However, no matter what they were tasked to do, they all noticed what the most ordered thing in their shop was…

Funeral arrangements.

Not until now did they realize how morbid this was, on top of most of the plants being discarded soon after the services were over.

So as a remedy, they hid a small seed packet within the disposable container in order to provide at least a chance of potential rebirth,

after loss of life.
