The Human Rosebush

A tale about a young girl and her rosebush.

Brought up in an natural alphabetical paradise, Julia is shrouded from the outside world. One day, out buying a rosebush with her mother Jeanne, Julia espies a withered stick on the ground. She's convinced the stick is calling out to her. Calling it her little rosebush, she brings it home to coax it back to life.

One gloomy day, the family move to Paris. On the way, Julia falls asleep, her rosebush pressed against her. When she wakes up, the rosebush has vanished. It must have grown inside her.
