I wrote this story, The Rose Perfume, about ten years ago. It was inspired from a waking dream I'd had. Those are incredibly realistic dreams because part of the brain is awake, while the other part is still asleep. In the dream, I could smell this powerful perfume. But thought it was weird when I woke up because I don't have a sense of smell. I've had bad colds and allergies that destroyed those receptors. But the smell invoked such a beautiful feeling, I wrote that story. At the time, no one in the world cared about roses and roses were not popular. Right after I wrote the story, even though no one had read it, the whole world decided roses were all. And there were roses everywhere. It was almost like the universe had conspired with my soul and threw the roses out into the world. It was a very weird thing. Anyway, it was the first one I ever completed and is not constructed perfectly. But, I decided to put it out there and let it be read.
