Young boy Eustace Wigglesworth had always been fascinated by flowers. So much, in fact, that when he turned 12, he became an apprentice at the local flower shop. The other boys bullied him to no end. Especially that pesky monster of the Drewbing's that later turned out to be a dog rather than a hairy boy with linguistical problems. But young Wigglesworth was not discouraged by the mean boys, and at the age of 14, he was a full-fledged florist. Things were looking good for young Wigglesworth. He even had his eyes on a girl from the bakery across the street. Young miss Flora Abercrombie. A delightful young lady who everyone adored.
But at Eustace's very own 15th birthday something terrible happened. The Drewbings had tried to make a pact with the dark powers to ensure wealth and prosperity for the rest of their lives, but failed miserably. They had instead summoned a Collosal Swarm of Dire Locusts. Flying beasts were everywhere! Doors were slammed shut, and people huddled in their houses. Nobody dared venture out. Eustace dared a peek out the window and saw what would ultimately change his life... Forever! Flora Abercrombie had not made it inside before the doors of the bakery had been shut. A gruesome scene took place before Wigglesworth's eyes. Flora was torn to pieces by the locust swarm. A single tear of agony trickled down Eustace's cheek. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. Stretching his arms up to the cieling and cursing the very day thi happened. After the swarm had moved on, almost nothing remained of his home town. He packed a bag of what little belongings he had left. Stole a butcher's cleaver, named it after Flora. and set out on his great adventure to find a new girl, a new town and a new flower shop.
