Flores Para Los Muertos - Vignette

An inebriated vixen promoted duress as she and George played "Get the Guests." A fractured malevolence mirroring Macbeth resulted in her first-born's death. Atop his imagined coffin, a snapdragon rests. Author's Note: Vignette inspiration: Play - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) Playwright - Edward Albee

Congrats on this selection, John. Yes,"Who's afraid" was a haunting movie. I didn't see the stage play. I've never been more disgusted by a write in my life. It was one of those times when I left in the middle of the thing. I imagine that speaks well of Albee's genius. Speaking of talent, you got it BIG, John. Love, daver. P.S. I've since seen the play again and understood much better.
