Nowhere in particular in a future utopian society in a garden so diverse and chaotic it resembled a botanical carnival, a hydrangea plant enjoyed its peculiar life. Its vibrant purple blossoms shimmied in the breeze, and the plant couldn't help but marvel at the downright absurdity of this world's inhabitants.

The garden, a hodgepodge of mismatched plants and questionable landscaping choices, was maintained by the communes' spiritual leader, respectively, and collectively referred to as The Local Horticultural Karen in Charge. A truly wonderous and enlightened being who possessed the horticultural know-how of a dandelion. The hydrangea, along with its peculiar plant neighbors, observed the communes' daily routines, which often involved attempts to water the plants with Sourtoe Cocktails and prune the shrubs with butter knives.

One fateful afternoon, the garden gate creaked open, and The Local Horticultural Karen in Charge herself paraded into the yard. Her stiletto heels left divots in the soft soil as she moved, her platinum blonde hair defying gravity in a tight, constricting bun. The hydrangea braced itself for the impending chaos, anticipating a spectacle that would make the garden's previous follies look like child's play.

The Local Horticultural Karen in Charge's eyes narrowed as she surveyed the landscape, her lips pursed in disapproval. With the confidence of someone who thought they knew everything but understood nothing, she decided the hydrangea required her "expert" guidance. She stomped over, her heels sinking mercilessly into the flowerbeds, and the hydrangea silently wondered if this was how the end began.

As The Local Horticultural Karen in Charge reached the hydrangea, she let out a theatrical sigh and declared, "This lovely predominantly multicellular photosynthetic eukaryote, forming the kingdom Plantae is completely overshadowed by all these other ridiculous monstrosities!" With an unsettling grin, she brandished a pair of rusty scissors, no doubt "borrowed" from her last follicle pruning appointment, and began to hack at the surrounding predominantly multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes, forming the kingdom Plantae like a crazed one who prunes follicles on a monosaccharide C6​H12​O6​ rush.

The hydrangea, now fearing for its life, watched with morbid fascination as The Local Horticultural Karen in Charge's caring and affectionate destruction unfolded. It couldn't help but be amused by the sheer lunacy of the situation, its inner thoughts dripping with sarcasm and disbelief.

With the air filled with the scent of mangled predominantly multicellular photosynthetic eukaryote, forming the kingdom Plantae foliage, The Local Horticultural Karen in Charge stepped back to admire her skillful handiwork. "There," she declared, "now you can finally breathe." Oblivious to the fact that she had just lovingly decimated the hydrangea's neighbors, she sauntered back toward the gate, leaving a path of botanical ruin in her wake.

As the sun set, casting a fiery glow upon the remnants of a veritable killing field of predominantly multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes, forming the kingdom Plantae in an act of compassion and cleansing, the hydrangea contemplated the sheer absurdity of what it had just witnessed. Its blossoms now tinged with a newfound twisted sense of humor and shared suffering, it couldn't help but chortle and cry at the ridiculous nonsensical world that it had been sent to by the Galactic Council to observe and evaluate in response to a petition for membership by the word's supreme leader, The High Supremo Karen herself.

In the aftermath of The Local Horticultural Karen in Charge's visit, the garden's spirit evolved into something altogether more bizarre. As the days turned into weeks, the hydrangea stood tall amidst the wreckage, a solitary witness to a world disrupted by the whims of a relatively Minor Bureaucratic Karen of the 7th Order of Enlightenment who probably thought photosynthesis was a fancy Instagram camera feature. The hydrangea in the face of utter idiocy had no other choice but to call it a day and recommend the Galactic Council not only reject this world's petition for membership but to declare a worldwide blight and order the immediate conversion of the entirety of this world's multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia into fertilizer and to start again from scratch...
