Author's Note: I wrote this while slightly loopy from pain meds, and after staring at it for a few days afterward, I decided I couldn't figure out where I was going with it in the first place, so it's getting posted as is. *shrugs* Also, yay for writing things I don't really remember writing and having them still end up at exactly 100 words. Drabbles, they're in my blood.
Summary: Sometimes life is all about the parallels and finding the reasoning you can live with.
Parallels
Just like with the orchids and bonsai that seem to have taken over her office, she cultivates them. She prunes away the unnecessary, dying or contrary bits, meticulously tending the ones that show the most potential for growth and success. She carefully chooses where to let their roots take hold, when to uproot them entirely, give them new places to grow, when to toss them aside for the good of those around them. It's both science and art, and the contradiction draws her in, intrigues her. Nothing is more satisfying than watching the results of her work blossom and thrive.
