SHORT STORY: WHY THE WHITE ROSE TURNED BLACK

Why the White Rose Turned Black

Beautiful things are born not made. Take the rose, with its thorny stem and white bud. Not always but sometimes the unlikeliest things are pure, as are the most beautiful, and this rose white as it was held no thorns. As a solitary bud it had no outside influences and as such stayed pure as the snow that landed on it mind November when all roses perished and were not seen again until spring.
