IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        On April 22, 1972, 23-year old Amy Wright went out for a casual stroll. 
She wound up going to the park, where she met a guy named Steve.  Her and Steve
hung out for a while, until it became dark, and she went home.

        On June 13, 1972, she went out with Steve again.  This time, things were
different.  Steve, drunk and angry, met up with her at that very same park.  No
one else was there.  So Steve forcibly knocked her to the ground, hit her a few
times, and then he slit her throat and buried her underground.  Her body was
never recovered.

        This flower recently grew from the exact spot where she was buried.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        The grass is actually just a box, whereas the sky is an actual plane.

        Next, the flower.  The stem is a cylinder using a jade texture.  The
petals are actually just cones.  Obviously, the middle part is a sphere.

        Finally, the leaves were made using TTF stuff in a Botanical font.  The
letter used was B.  

        Well, that's about it.  If you have any questions, e-mail me.  Thanks,
