A Short Story: Anjou & Penelope’s Great Adventure

Anjou and Penelope awoke the next day as the sunlight poured into the cavern. Before starting down the pathway to the cavern outlet they ate some of the berries and nuts Anjou had foraged the day before and drank water from his canteen till their appetites were sated. As they started on their way through the cavern Penelope asked Anjou to tell her again what Zinnia was like as she could hardly wait to get there. Never tiring of telling Penelope stories, Anjou began to describe Zinnia starting first with Penelope’s favorite part, the lustrous flowers native to Zinnia.
