Summary: The ferns are content to exist.


The lush ferns were content to soak up the sun, the rain, and the air which was thick with both sun and rain. They were happy to flaunt their abundance, to display their vitality in the form of fountains as glorious a green as was ever imagined. They were satisfied in their role as layers between the grey human architecture.

They were admired. They were photographed.

They were content.

But the fungus which existed along the fronds and in the soil, extending, reaching, would accept nothing less than total domination and the destruction of all that stood in their way.
