The wispy, slender figure stood on the sidewalk outside a small florist shop, her dark hair piled carelessly atop her head. Despite a cool breeze in the air, she wore a long sundress, the skirt billowing around her legs as she stood still, unmoving. Her honey colored eyes were focused intensely on one rose as she watched each petal wither individually right in front of her gaze.
From inside the shop, the sound of a radio blaring could be heard. Pop music spilled through the open door onto the sidewalk, interrupted intermittently by commercials and news briefs covering everything from the price of gas to the unseasonably severe drought affecting both the water reserve and the yield of the state's winter crops. Similar effects were being seen up the Pacific coast and down into Nevada, New Mexico, across Texas, and throughout a large portion of Mexico. Experts were currently analyzing the long-term ramifications on what it could mean for the general food supply if conditions continued to degrade.
Yes. She'd been a very busy girl lately.
