Human After All

not sky-blue blue

"Jimmy, I'm going to plant a sunflower garden here," she said it like the owned the place.

He scoffed and rolled his eyes like she asked to get another cat, but as the sunflowers got taller, his smile grew with them. The sunflower garden was finally done and Jimmy went outside a day when he was off work but she wasn't. He found some old lattice pieces and sanded them down in their one car garage which wasn't even used as a garage, but instead as a storage space. Under a shelf full of clothes labeled clothes for cold weather he found a can of blue Sherwin Williams paint. He thought it was the same blue as the sky. Although he was a painter, he had terrible color choice.

The only thing he was right about the color choice was that it was blue.

She came home to her sunflower garden decorated with not sky-blue, blue lattices.

Jimmy grinned and asked her if she liked it and she said she loved it. She said it like she had a key to the place and she helped pay the bills.
