Summary: There's just something about asters that isn't right.
Note: Looked over by isana , who has my thanks. Please excuse me as I rush to finish the Harvest Gold challenge.

Cyprian loved all flowers, even the assholes. Asters were something different. Cyprian loathed silence, and if asters had ever uttered a word not even other flowers could say. They communicated in shocks of emotion and impression and spectral color.

Cyprian had asked, once, why this was so, and received a succession of images: a woman, her spine in a perfect, unnatural arc, an aster drinking up her tears. A dark, hazy sepia burning into a black than was more than black. Howling gusts, and the shape of those who were listening beyond them.

Cyprian loved all flowers. He feared for only one.

I totally love this piece. Asters are Eric Cartman in flower-form, for serious.

Oh, that's creepy and sad at the same time. How did you do that?

[malapropism]

I could not say. Thank you so much for saying so! I'm happy you liked it.

Well, that's... creepy. Can Cyprian normally talk to flowers? I guess he can.

Can Cyprian normally talk to flowers? I guess he can.

Yep. Not only can he talk to flowers, he prefers them over people most of the time.

Thank you! I'm glad you seemed to like this.

Can't blame him!

I did like it. Creepy is a compliment in my world ;)
