The Youthful Alphabet Garden


Deep in the Cajun country heart Alvarez was seeing double while sweeping things under the red carpet when suddenly a beautiful stunning image stood in the doorway.

“I am Evangeline,” she introduced herself, “and I am the messenger of good news.”

Grabbing the silver flask from his pocket he took a swig, “I see you are still dealing with the cataract issue,”

“Yes, Ma’am I sometimes have blurry sight,” Alvarez replied to the inquiry about the adversity, he had been racing around trying to cure for the past quarter century resulting in ‘no changes.’

“If you take a second to listen this may solve your problem,” Evangeline offered before revealing the special invention for his sight, “go to the hospital and tell them to put the Eye Max lens in.”

A few weeks later he took the advice, and the health care workers performed the Eye Max insertion surgery and when things were complete Alvarez enjoyed a widescreen presentation in living color.

“Wow,” he exclaimed, “this is Eye Max thing is really cool.”

Appearing soon a sign stated, ‘The Youthful Alphabet Garden’ and this luring announcement made Alvarez proceed down the theatrical cinema’s adventurous path,

“XDW sheez sweet on the show,” a maiden could be heard conversing to her boyfriend, “TDZ playboy behavior is only going to make her leave despite him being a winner.”

“You think TDZ is a playboy?” the teen star answered.

“Yes, TDZ is not sweet like XDW,” the maiden continued.

“Such gossip” the eye max viewer thought enjoying his entertainment journey now visiting another visual experience, “I know you are out of the money but please DLJ jess thrill me.”

Energized and soothed by the line Alvarez stopped in his tracks, “San Lorenzo,” he whispered a gasp.

“I am not out of the money,” DJL explained, “jess a bit rusty,”

“What do you mean you are rusty!” San Lorenzo screamed, “I am lookin caliente in this show tonight and you got allowance from mowing lawns.”

It was then DLJ took the cue and started to move his lips toward hers, but she quickly pulled away, “it’s GBH and Tony together!” San Lorenzo showed gritted teeth.

“I thought you were over Tony,” DLJ whimpered.

“I am over Tony, but GBH took my necklace during gym class,” San Lorenzo clarified, “and Tony is ready to slobber all over it.”

Off in the distance GBH noticed San Lorenzo’s red eyes and a second passed for them to heed the warning from TDZ waiting in the wings shouting, “GBH, run Tony,”

Now with a popcorn bucket in his lap Alvarez watched San Lorenzo Dash towards her antagonists and in the end win the scene by taking down all the other characters. Popping the Eye Max’s out Alvarez pressed the rewind button feeling a tap on the shoulder,

“Did you enjoy the two intertwining features?”

Turning around he saw Evangeline, “you probably want these back?”

“You need to in order to avoid late fees.” Evangeline reported.

“Do you have any other Eye Max services?” Alvarez requested, “I would love to do some sweeping again tomorrow and enjoy another double.”
