and so with that

And so with that, the tree of their love fell to the ground leaving a rotting stump where nothing else would grow, and deer would stub their toes and swear in their special deer language. In a way his whole life had been like one big tree, each choice branched in a different direction, but it always ended with leaves....as everyone had done to him.....he began to sob at the base of the love tree, and as his gross slimy tears fell to the ground, they soaked the earth from which a flower grew. He brought it to his nose, and he sneezed.
