This is PART II of a Tetralogy (a story broken down into four parts)
Synopsis:
Upon waking up the morning after Robert skeptically planted the seeds that the mysterious stranger gave to him with the promise that they would fill the void in his life, he discovers an extraordinary act of nature in his backyard; a giant beanstalk-like plant reaching to the clouds. Witnessing it for the first time, Robert feels it's presence can only be explained by one of two things: some kind of magical force, or more plausibly, a brain tumor. However, when others behold the sight of such an inexplainable phenomenon, the latter explanation goes out the window.
Robert quickly learns through studying the gigantic growth on his lawn that it has remarkable abilities that can in fact, as the stranger assured him, remedy the feelings of emptiness he had long felt from within. But with his billboard-worthy suburban neighborhood and the mighty homeowner's association at his throat about getting rid of what could be consecrated as a natural wonder of the world, Robert must make a decision. He can either follow the regulations set forth by his community and continue his seemingly meaningless existence, or he can fight the powers that be, save the miracle that wondrously appeared in his life, and start down a new and fulfilling path of being.
