Korean Grocer's Bright Flowers

Bright flowers perch enticingly on a side display in the dimly lit convenience store, drawing Simon Donovan's cheerful banter with the Korean grocer moments before chaos erupts—he eyes them as a whimsical purchase amid grabbing his Milky Way. Gunfire later scatters them in vivid disarray beside Simon's crumpled body, petals splayed across blood-streaked tiles as police flashes etch the tragic tableau, their innocence mocking the violence that felled a hero.
