the house south of the apartment building is owned by a prick. he opposed the fence being put up by the city to separate the parking lot from his property and the building's. well, he opposed a lot of things and it took two years to have the fences put up. he is one of those people who call apartment dwellers 'low life scums'. he had always given grief to the building's owner. and he was always on the wrong and his other neighbours didn't like him either and twice the police was called on the obnoxious bastard.
he planted his crawling vines right on the fence from his side. but look! his clematis flower must've decided he's such a jerk it didn't want to be there on his side, so almost as if on a whim, it snuck through the gap and bloomed its lovely face on our side of the fence. yee-haw!
TOO FUNNY! even flowers know when to escape from an unkind person and where to turn their happy faces. love your narrative! maybe your neighbor is related to my neighbor, ralph. every neighborhood has one. . .
There's one in every neighborhood! Love the story ... that flower knows exactly what it's doing! AND it's just beautiful ...love your pov and capture of it.
