THE GARDEN OF REQUIREMENT
By J. Lillie
Jared called it “The Garden of Requirement”, a play off of the Harry Potter books, his favorite reads.
Jenna called it a mess. Jared’s garden was a hodgepodge of broken toilets filled with violets and refrigerators filled with manure and beef steak tomato plants.
He haled it as repurposing. She complained it was just putting other people’s old junk on their lawn, but then the people began to come, just to look at the junk. Jared began to charge a walk-through fee. When Jared bought Jenna her first diamond necklace Jenna began to love the Garden of Requirement.
Dear Joe,
I think I might still have an issue with Jared’s garden. Unique take on the prompt.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle.
A friend of an old boyfriend had a backyard like that… Ugh. Mind you, he did manage to repurpose a lot of it… eventually
Well hopefully it ended up beautiful and allowed him to buy his wife a diamond necklace. 🙂
Indeed!

Diamonds are a girls best friend! Nice story – everyone has a price. Clever! Thanks.
Yes indeed.
