    Mysterious disappearances clog the articles of the newspapers, centered around the city park. When Amy goes there one day with friends, she finds herself entranced by a wonderful smell. Filling her lungs and creating a longing she had never known, the young woman is confused when her friends denounce it as being similar to a garbage dump. Against her will she finds herself drawn in, leading to the discovery of an enormous flower and the creature behind it.

      ~

      FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS the newspapers had been full of frightening headlines. Another Person Gone, read one. Park of Fear?, read another.

      The reason behind all of those stories were the disappearances of several people by the main park in the city. There had been over five missing persons reported. All of them were random people, and the police still hadn’t come up with a motive, if indeed there was foul play involved.

      Not a clue was found for why any of the people were missing. They simply seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving behind nothing. Their mode of transportation were always found, such as a car or bicycle, but that was it.

      The only correlation with the time of their disappearances was a strong odor that seemed to pervade the air. The smell was described as noxious and extremely strong. Its strength was such that no one could find the source. People would become physically ill trying to do so.

      But that was months ago. Since then no one had mysteriously vanished and a terrible odor hadn’t been smelled by anyone. Thus the normal goings on continued unabated. They couldn’t exactly close down such a large area so easily. Which was why Amy had no qualms about meeting with her friends there every now and then.

      High school was over. After this summer fall would begin and so would her first semester of college. Amy was excited, but also nervous. This was a big step in her life, or so people told her. Essentially, she would be going from one educational institution to the next.

      Just thinking about it made her run a hand anxiously through her styled, short brown hair. At least that meant she could enjoy a few months of relaxation with her friends from high school before they all went their separate ways.

      On one particularly warm day she was scheduled to meet with a couple of them at the city park. The tall buildings were left behind as she walked across a crosswalk, her brown eyes darting to and fro, watching for traffic. Green grass and trees greeted her as she past underneath their shade. It was a Saturday afternoon and the surrounding area was filled with an assortment of families and couples enjoying the weather.

      Dressed in low heels and a white dress sprinkled with sunflowers, Amy was ready for a day outside. Her purse was hung snugly over one shoulder. Her height was average as she made her way through the crowds. Her figure, while not skinny, was not overweight. Though she wouldn’t have minded losing a few pounds around her middle, she wasn’t overly anxious about it.

      A light sprinkling of freckles dotted over the bridge of her nose. Skin lightly tanned from already being outside much this summer, she made for a healthy sight. With sure steps she kept going past the local food and ice cream stands. They were going to meet at the pond situated in the middle of the grounds and already she was almost late.

      Ahead she finally glimpsed the sun reflecting off the water. Catching sight of a familiar pair of bodies, she waved her hand in greeting. Smiles lighting their faces, Samantha, Sam for short, and Tiffany waved back. With a chagrined smile on her face she came up to them.

      Always the last one, Tiffany grinned.

      Waving her hand, she dismissed the tease. Being early is so overrated.

      All three of them laughed. This was a typical joke between the girls, one that they always took pleasure in. Then they were off, each abreast of the other as they discussed their summer plans.

      The three of them hadn’t gone far before they saw a great many people walking by in the other direction. Most of them had their hands on their noses. Soon they were introduced to the reason why.

      The smell was wonderful. It was like a combination of the most delicious food and the most beautiful flowers all wrapped in one. Eyes closed, Amy enjoyed the smell. Taking a deep breath full of air, she let the mixture fill her lungs to capacity.

      Opening them again, she turned to her friends, expecting to see a similar look on their faces. Instead their
