VISUAL PROMPT

Tasked with hosting your friend's engagement celebration, you throw an elaborate party in a forest.
Neon Surprise
“Wow, it’s amazing.” The Bride, Lily, steps on the pavement of her brightly decorated wedding venue. She couldn’t let Amanda know that this horrid mess made her want to kill her. There was no going back know her wedding was in 30 minutes.
Everyone would arrive and she this. She should have never left her dressing room.
“It’s great right?” The Maid Of Honor, Amanda, takes a step closer to her master piece.
Lanterns shone bright neon orange light. Table cloths so brightly pink that you can barely see the white plates. The stairs wrapped in a neon yellow that clashes with the light brown.
The bride smiles. The only thing she liked about this was that in chalk it said, “Lily and Gary, she always wanted to be the princess he always wanted to be the knight. April 14.” That smile quickly turned into a frown.
“Amanda, todays date is Apri-“ She was cutoff by her husband.
“Who decorated this? It looks like the 80’s threw up on it! How are we supposed to take photos if everything will be to bright!? How are we supposed to walk down the aisle without falling because we are blinded!?” Gary put on his sunglasses and turned to look at Amanda. “You your the one who did this. How could you possibly think that this is OK decorating for a wedding?!” He took a step closer. “You are no longer welcome to my WEDDING!” He thrusted his finger at her then at the door.
Tears in her eyes, Amanda ran to the door, Lily tried to follow her but Gary shook his head. Lily ran the other direction to her dressing room. Not even sure if she should finish and put on her dress.
**THE WEEK AFTER THE WEDDING**
Gary was asleep on his bed dreaming about a world where money just came to you in a box and you didn’t need to work. Lily was out shopping, no one else was in the house. Or so Gary thought.
Amanda crept through his kitchen, then his living room, then his dining room, and finally reached his bedroom. She admired him from the doorway. Sleeping so peacefully. Then crept up to his bedside. Bright Neon streamers and tape in hand she began to wrap.
First his feet, legs, stomach, chest, shoulders, and head. She left a hole for his mouth, nose and eyes.
At this point he was awake but he couldn’t move. He was trapped in neon. Amanda left the room. Then came back this time with a knife. Gary’s eyes opened wide. Amanda took her hand and closed them. Then took the knife and left a deep slit in his throat.
