Far beneath the bitter snow lies a rose.
The back wheel of the old yellow taxi jolted over a rock and landed with a thud that sent Marron Chestnut bouncing across the high buckboard seat. She sprawled against the greasy bearded, unkempt driver. His black hair was slick back into a tiny pony tail as his fingers lightly grip the steering wheel, his gaze everywhere but on the steep, sharply curved road.
Marron managed to push herself to a sitting position again and gripped the edge of the wooden seat. "Are we almost there?"
The old man smack his lips chewing his over chewed gum turning to her and smiling, his mouth red from the fruity flavored gum. "Just about!"
It was the same answer he'd been giving her for two hours now. As he worked on his gum plug in his cheek his jaw twitched up and down as he hum to the western song playing lightly on the radio. Marron set her blue sparkle eyes back on the curvy road. Three hours ago they had started up the steep, rutted road carved precariously through the hills and not once noticing a single car passing them by.
She scrunched up her little nose quite perturb with the long torturous road. She dreamed of this precise day since a little girl. Leaving her parents back home on the lonely island she learned to love. She was starting a new life.
She slipped her slimly smooth hands in her blue sweater pocket gripping onto the worn out newspaper ad. She keep it close to her heart for days now. It read
"The famous and successful Capsule Corporations is now looking for a highly standard educated business secretary if interested please scheduled an appointment with us!"
She had been waiting so long for an opportunity such as this. She study business for few years collecting her fathers old college books studying it tip to tab. She smiled at the wrinkle newspaper ad stuffing it securely back into her blue sweater pocket. They soon entered the busy street of Tokyo as she took in the view of bright lights and crowded streets. The taxi driver grunted aggravated by the busy streets simply spitting out his gum through the dirty window. She forms a small smile noticing his aggravation. He sighed trying to relax in the busy streets driving cautiously to Capsule Corporations.
