Story #24

Granted, it was a silly thing for Carla to do, but no one could deny her attempts were dead serious. To live like the moss that grew upon the rocks in her backyard became more than an obsession, it changed her completely. For months, one could meander by and see her naked body, painted green, wrapped around a football sized stone next to a burly looking maple. Sadly, a group of scientists happened by and removed all the moss, including Carla, to research a new form of bio-oil. Her last moments were spent greasing up the engine of an SUV in Austin, Texas.
