Topic: A Proposal

The Redneck

Left for the governor to go over at his earliest convenience is a packet sealed with a circle of deep silver flecked, deep blue wax, a stylized rose pressed into the center.

The packet contains a proposal from the redneck to acquire, with his permission, a block of land, several empty lots where businesses and houses once stood. After a complete demo of the remaining structures, including the foundations, the lots will be turned into one large park.

Complete with playground equipment, a small wooded area, flowers and herbs growing in free form beds, a pond and small brook as a water feature. Food stuffs and fruit trees to be shared with the community as a whole.

The land would be paid for by Thorn herself, as would the labor and materials to begin and complete the transformation. The actual planting however, would be a joint effort of the community at large. A constantly evolving, changing, place to share.

At the entrance of the park some form of marker, with a plaque. As of yet, the images of the plaque were blank, no words were written there.

"This is the very beginning of something a friend of mine asked me to set up for them. At the Council Meeting, I'll explain more."

In a surprising feminine hand, a bit of a teaser was left written on the inside of a card emblazoned with the same stylized rose pattern as had been used to emboss the wax seal of the packet.

After reading the contents of the packet, Ebon smiled and penned a quick response.

Thorn,

Even without knowing the full details, I am prepared to give your proposal my full support. While many neighborhoods in our city are blessed with an abundance of parkland and greenery, there are many others less fortunate. Such a project would go a long way to revitalizing them and hopefully spurring growth. At the very least, it would give children and families a place to play, relax and enjoy nature without having to hike halfway across the city.

You will have the floor at the meeting, with my compliments.

Sincerely, Ebon Ilnaren

He placed the reply in an envelope, sealed it, and gave it to a trusted courier to be delivered to the lovely redneck.
