Fredrick the Flower Man

*** I wrote this off a prompt someone gave me, open to criticism ** It was at this moment where Fredrick learned, someone was fucking with him. He knew something was off when he woke up that morning and found a dandelion growing out of his pillow and there was a Rose blooming out of the drain of his bathroom sink. His morning coffee pot had been invaded by about dozens of little Morning Glory flowers; the heat of the hot coffee had caused them to wilt and turned the coffee into a disgusting shade of dark purple. Fredrick whispered a curse under his breath and made his way out the door, where he spotted the Anthuriums in the flower pot that he placed on his kitchen table. He stared at it for a moment “Don’t go getting crazy like whatever’s going on,” he commanded to the imaginary force he thought was there. The Anthurium just sat there in silence. “Good…” he mumbled and closed the door behind him. He made his way to the parking lot, what he saw turned his stomach upside down, he groaned clearly displeased with what had happened with his car. Some kind soul had gone so far as to cover the entire car, hood to trunk in bright yellow sunflowers… “Are you not satisfied?” he heard a woman’s voice in his ear, his right ear to be exact. Fredrick recoiled at the voice, “Wha… what’s going on? What’re you trying to pull!?” he exclaimed and turned around, looking for the person for which the voice belonged so. Which earned him confused looks from people in the parking lot. “This is a gift… for your kindness the other day.” The woman’s voice echoed into his right ear again “Had it not been for you, I and my sisters would have surely died…” she explained humbly. “Care to explain?” Fredrick mumbled walking over to his car, and began removing the flowers. “When you had saved me and my sisters of course! Do you not remember? We were dancing in the wind as usual, and then a fierce mechanical beast loomed over us ready to shred us to pieces!” the woman’s voice shrieked. “Wha… mechanical..? Are you the flowers I stopped from getting mulched by the lawn mower!?” exclaimed Fredrick “I remember now, Yeah I stopped them because there was a piece of dog poo around you and I didn’t want them to fly it everywhere.” “Regardless, you have saved us, we are in your debt, for your courageous act we have decided to bless your life with our children.” The woman exclaimed happily. “Look. That’s great all all, but-“ “Nonsense, are we not beautiful!?” “You’re very pretty, but-“ “Then you accept! Oh wonderful!” exclaimed the flower woman’s voice “We will fill every moment of your life with our beautiful children!” And that’s how Fredrick ended up in his cubicle at work, full of Dandelions and Sunflowers. It didn’t help that he was allergic to pollen.
