Abstract

Milo struggles to find balance between his financial necessities and artistic aspirations in a modern urban environment. He discovers a rosebush with strange properties that may hold the answer to his monetary woes. However, after interacting with a collection of new acquaintances, Milo begins to question his lackadaisical attitude, his reliance on his roommate’s generosity, and his own get-rich-quick mentality. In this exploration of urban life and the challenges presented therein, Milo must motivate himself to live well or suffer an irredeemable loss of self.
