George stumbled inside, the rose swaying with his movements

"Smells great, Mama!" George exclaims in joy as he breathes in all the scents of the soup, his mother stood still over the pot, George sighs still holding the flower

"I know you're sad Papa left, but.. I found something that'll make ya feel a little better!" George says, lifting the black rose from his pocket

"Oh, sweetie.. It's so pretty." Mama awed as she grabbed the bare stem, suddenly the rose turned a darkish grey, barely noticeable, the same deep voice filled George's ears

"Sweet boy, your mother will die of Blunt Force Trauma. Please watch your step."

"Sweetie?" Mama asks, still holding the now grey rose.

"Yes, Mama?" George asks, shrugging off what he had just heard

"Where did you find this rose?" Mama asks

"There was these two men, really fancy lookin', big one told me to give ya that rose!!" George explains, Mama giggles

"You've been eatin them berries out in the woods, haven't you?" Momma asks, handing Lennie his bowl of chicken broth and soft bread

"I swears it, Mama!!" George yells before getting lead to the table by Mama

"Yous really seen two.. Big men, George??" Lennie asks, struggling to find the words to form the question

"Yes Lennie, big and tiny one, seem real strange, they dressed all kinda fancy!-" George got cut off by Mama handing him his soup and bread, George sighs and began sipping his soup. Mama fixed hers and lead herself to the table, but she tripped on George's chair leg, and slammed her head into the wall, blood came quickly.. George leapt out of the chair, running to check on Mama, Lennie following close behind.

"Oh god... Mama!! Mama!!" George felt tears stream down his face as he shook her

"Why ain't Mama movin' George?" Lennie asks,watching Geroge sob over their dead bleeding mother

"We can't raise a farm on our own, Lennie... I can't raise you on ma own." George whimpers, sobbing harshly

"Mama is gonna get up, right George?" Lennie asks, he was so innocent..

"It was them men, Lennie! Them evil men killed Mama!!" George yells, tears streaming down his face "Imma get those men,you go down to the police station and explain what happened." George explains, Lennie nods and runs off, George grabs his revolver.
